Yes, arrays are of fixed length. You might need to use dynimic arrays or another dynamic length data structure. a [3] = 55 is not adding a new element to the array. In order to understand it you should learn more about pointers and memory. Arrays are a continuous block of memory. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/C/2933/ Keep in mind that a[k] is the same as *(a + k).

Yes it's possible and you did it well. What you need to understand is that you can't change the length of the array. It will remain the same. a [ 3 ] = 55 won't change the array. See my previous answer.

Array is fixed length. Though C let you do so, but such thing could lead problems in the computer.
