C Program to Delete an element from the specified location from Array
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int arr[30], num, i, loc;
printf("\nEnter no of elements :");
scanf("%d", &num);
//Read elements in an array
printf("\nEnter %d elements :", num);
for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
}
//Read the location
printf("\n location of the element to be deleted :");
scanf("%d", &loc);
/* loop for the deletion */
while (loc < num) {
arr[loc - 1] = arr[loc];
loc++;
}
num--; // No of elements reduced by 1
//Print Array
for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
printf("\n %d", arr[i]);
return (0);
}Enter no of elements :5 Enter 5 elements :1 2 3 4 5 location of the element to be deleted :3 1 2 4 5
First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
