an integer array of 15 elements is declared in a c program. the memory location of the first byte of the array is 2000. what will be the location of the 13th element of the array? assume int takes 2 bytes of memory.

To find the memory location of the 13th element of an integer array when the first element is at location 2000 and each integer takes 2 bytes, use the formula:

Address of nth element=Base address+(n−1)×size of each element\text{Address of nth element}=\text{Base address}+(n-1)\times \text{size of each element}Address of nth element=Base address+(n−1)×size of each element

Here,

  • Base address = 2000
  • n=13n=13n=13 (for the 13th element)
  • Size of each int = 2 bytes

Calculation:

2000+(13−1)×2=2000+12×2=2000+24=20242000+(13-1)\times 2=2000+12\times 2=2000+24=20242000+(13−1)×2=2000+12×2=2000+24=2024

So, the memory location of the 13th element will be 2024
