C Exercises: Delete an element at desired position from an array
C Array: Exercise-15 with Solution
Write a program in C to delete an element at a desired position from an array.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(){
int arr1[50],i,pos,n;
printf("\n\nDelete an element at desired position from an array :\n");
printf("---------------------------------------------------------\n");
printf("Input the size of array : ");
scanf("%d", &n);
/* Stored values into the array*/
printf("Input %d elements in the array in ascending order:\n",n);
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf("element - %d : ",i);
scanf("%d",&arr1[i]);
}
printf("\nInput the position where to delete: ");
scanf("%d",&pos);
/*---- locate the position of i in the array -------*/
i=0;
while(i!=pos-1)
i++;
/*---- the position of i in the array will be replaced by the
value of its right */
while(i<n){
arr1[i]=arr1[i+1];
i++;
}
n--;
printf("\nThe new list is : ");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf(" %d",arr1[i]);
}
printf("\n\n");
}
Sample Output:
Delete an element at desired position from an array : --------------------------------------------------------- Input the size of array : 5 Input 5 elements in the array in ascending order: element - 0 : 1 element - 1 : 2 element - 2 : 3 element - 3 : 4 element - 4 : 5 Input the position where to delete: 3 The new list is : 1 2 4 5
