Processing of Examination Marks

Marks obtained by a batch of students in the Annual Examination are tabulated as follows:

         Student name                       Marks obtained

           S.Laxmi                           45  67  38  55     
           V.S.Rao                           77  89  56  69
            - -                                     -   -   -   -

It is required to compute the total marks obtained by each student and print the rank list based on the total marks.

The program in Fig.11.14 stores the student names in the array name and the marks in the array marks.  After computing the total marks obtained by all the students, the program prepares and prints the rank list.  The declaration

    int  marks[STUDENTS][SUBJECTS+1];

defines marks as a pointer to the array's first row.  We use rowptr as the pointer to the row of marks.  The rowptr is initialized as follows:

    int (*rowptr)[SUBJECTS+1] = array;

Note that array is the formal argument whose values are replaced by the values of the actual argument marks.  The parentheses around *rowptr makes the rowptr as a pointer to an array of SUBJECTS+1 integers.  Remember, the statement

         int  *rowptr[SUBJECTS+1];

would declare rowptr as an array   of  SUBJECTS+1 elements.

When we increment the rowptr (by rowptr+1), the incrementing is done in units of the size of each row of array, making rowptr point to the next row.  Since rowptr points to a particular row, (*rowptr)[x] points to the xth element in the row.
