declared arrays look like this usually:
  int bitvector[4];
or might look like this:
  int bitvector[];

or even this could be an array

int *ImGoingToBeAnArray;

if you don't understand what arrays in C look like let alone how to use
them  i would suggest reading a beginning C book to help you out.

most of circle is built around arrays and if you don't understand how
arrays work in C then you'll have a  hard time dealing with the code on
your own especially when the code starts tossing around pointers to
arrays which is what the last example would be.
