Summary  
Because arrays decay to pointers when passed to functions and lose their size information, you must pass the array’s length as a separate argument to enable correct and safe iteration.

General domain of usage  
Implementing functions that operate on arrays (e.g., sorting, searching, aggregating data)

#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
#include <catch2/catch.hpp>

double calculateAverage(int* scores, int n);

TEST_CASE("Average for {80, 90, 75, 85, 100} should be 86", "[calculateAverage]") {
    int scores[5] = {80, 90, 75, 85, 100};
    double result = calculateAverage(scores, 5);
    REQUIRE(result == Approx(86.0)); // Summing 80 + 90 + 75 + 85 + 100, expected average: 86
}

TEST_CASE("Average for {100, 100, 100, 100} should be 100", "[calculateAverage]") {
    int scores[4] = {100, 100, 100, 100};
    double result = calculateAverage(scores, 4);
    REQUIRE(result == Approx(100.0)); // Summing 100+100+100+100, expected average: 100
}

TEST_CASE("Average for {0, 0, 0, 0} should be 0", "[calculateAverage]") {
    int scores[4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
    double result = calculateAverage(scores, 4);
    REQUIRE(result == Approx(0.0)); // Summing 0+0+0+0, expected average: 0
}

TEST_CASE("Average for {70, 80, 75, 76} should be 75.25", "[calculateAverage]") {
    int scores[4] = {70, 80, 75, 76};
    double result = calculateAverage(scores, 4);
    REQUIRE(result == Approx(75.25)); // Summing 70+80+75+76, expected average: 75.25
}

TEST_CASE("Average for single element {50} should be 50", "[calculateAverage]") {
    int scores[1] = {50};
    double result = calculateAverage(scores, 1);
    REQUIRE(result == Approx(50.0)); // Single score 50, expected average: 50
}
