Static Array
Build a fixed-size array wrapper class with bounds checking and O(1) random access. Learn how arrays store elements in contiguous memory.
Data Structures & Algorithms Project
The difficulty level shown is relative to other DSA projects. This project assumes you're comfortable with C++ fundamentals including classes, pointers, and memory management. If you're new to C++, we recommend completing our core C++ lessons first.

What You'll Build
A StaticArray class template that wraps a C-style array with bounds checking, size tracking, and common array operations like fill, find, and element access.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how arrays store elements in contiguous memory
- Implement O(1) random access using index operators
- Add bounds checking to prevent buffer overflows
- Use templates to create a generic container
- Implement common array operations like fill and find
Project Steps
Introduction to Static Arrays
Learn how arrays store elements in contiguous memory and create the foundation of your StaticArray class.
Element Access and Bounds Checking
Implement the [] operator for O(1) element access and add bounds checking to prevent buffer overflows.
Common Array Operations
Add useful operations like fill(), find(), front(), back(), and empty() to complete your StaticArray.
