In a way, passing an array as argument always loses a dimension. The reason behind is that, for historical reasons, arrays cannot be directly copied, and thus what is really passed is a pointer. This is a common source of errors for novice programmers.
atomic number represents the protons in atom. As a example hydrogen has one proton and atomic number is 1.
Mass number-atomic number = # neutrons. Determining the number of electrons-. The number of electrons in an element can change. For a neutral atom, the number of protons is exactly equal to the number of electrons.So the number of electrons is the same as the atomic number.ass number-atomic number = # neutrons. Determining the number of electrons-. The number of electrons in an element can change. For a neutral atom, the number of protons is exactly equal to the number of electrons.
