8. Arrays

8. Arrays

Arrays represent a collection of similar data types, enabling the storage of multiple values under a single variable name. They can be classified into one-dimensional and multidimensional types, with specific methods for declaration, initialization, and accessing elements. While arrays offer efficient data storage and access, they also have limitations including fixed size and data type uniformity.

What we have learnt

  • An array is a collection of similar data types stored in contiguous memory.
  • One-dimensional arrays are linear, while multidimensional arrays can represent matrices.
  • Array elements are accessed by their index, which starts at 0.

Key Concepts

-- Array
A collection of similar data types stored in contiguous memory locations.
-- OneDimensional Array
A linear list of elements accessible in a single dimension.
-- Multidimensional Array
Arrays of arrays, allowing the representation of complex data structures.
-- Indexing
Accessing elements of an array using their respective integer index, starting at 0.
-- Initialization
The process of allocating memory for an array after its declaration.
