Problem Statement

Write a C program to delete the first element of an array by shifting all subsequent elements to the left.

Input Format

First line contains n. Second line contains n space-separated integers.

Output Format

Print the updated array of size n-1 separated by spaces.

Constraints

1 < n <= 100

Sample Input

5
1 2 3 4 5

Sample Output

2 3 4 5

Explanation

Shift all elements one position to the left starting from index 1, then decrement the size of the array.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int n;
    if (scanf("%d", &n) == 1) {
        int arr[100];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
        }
        // Write your code here to delete the first element
    }
    return 0;
}

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
