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.
