> 1. We discussed using the expression `sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]` to calculate the number of elements in an array. The expression `sizeof(a) / sizeof(t)` where `t` is the type of `a`'s elements would also work, but it's considered an inferior technique. Why?
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Using the type of the array's first element means that if you change the type of an array, it won't break the code that calculates the number of elements.

> 3. Write a declaration of an array named weekend containing seven `bool` values. Include an initialize that makes the first and last values `true`; all other values should be `false`.
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
```c
|
|
bool weekend[] = {true, [1 ... 5] = false, true};
|
|
```

> 5. Calculators, watches, and other electronic devices often rely on 7 segment displays for numerical output. To form a digit, such devices turn on some of the seven segments while leaving others off.

|

```c
|

const int segments[10][7] = {{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, ...};
|

```c
|
|
const int segments[10][7] = {
|
|
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, // 0
|
|
{0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0}, // 1

{}
