Given C, anyone whose standards required your second example would be
past praying for. There is an interesting value there (n) which is
probably less than obvious, and just "n" is probably terser than one
would like.

I've always found automations like

  for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(ARRAY)/sizeof(ARRAY[0]); i++) {
    // do something with ARRAY[i]
  }

helpful.
