ans. in 1st statement 5 denotes an array(num)has 6th integer elements. 
in 2nd statement 5 indicates we want to assign 6th element value

Hi

I think ur wrong

when we are declaring array has some num[5],that means it has the limit to has the 5 elements...

those are num[0],num[1],num[2],num[3],num[4] that's it

in this first one we have to answer like "5" the lenght of that array...

come to second one num[5] in not a region of that array............

so compiler thinks that it is an error and it is raising an exception that Arryindexout of Bound error

ok

I think when we give an index value that is greater than the decleared size of the array the compiler dosnot give any error or wrning message,and such initialization may lead to overwriting of some other data.it totally depends on the programmer to take care of it that array bounds are not exceeded.

int a[5] will reserve memory for array with size 5. i.e., location num[0], num[1],num[2], num[3]and num[4]; assigning any value to num[5] is possible. But that data may not be secure, that may lost. compiler willnot make any error while compiling. if we didn't specify any value it will display some garbage value.

the first line 5 indicates the array size

the second line merely looking it would denote the sixth element of the array but there arrises an exception that it exceeds the array size so it would be err

Correct, Array size would appropriately grow!
