what are arrays?

Question

see I hav my xam comin up tomorrow and pl xplain to me wat arrays are in simple words....

Answer 1

A series of variables (or objects) that are of the same type and size. Each of these variables (objects) are indexed; individual elements are called array elements
It the area of the RAM that stores the bits. The array consists of rows and columns, with a cell at each intersection that can store a bit. The large rectangular section in the centre of the die where the memory is stored.

Answer 2

An array is a group of data given an index through which you may search the group. The index may be numbers or, in some programming languages, the index may be other things. Usually, the programmer would want the indices to be items of the same length or the same type to make things either for her/his program to be able to anticipate how to look up stuff in the group.

For example, an array could be a list of types of sports balls, such as 'base', and 'basket', and 'foot', and 'tennis', and 'soccer'.

Then the index could be, either numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), or the names of the people who own the balls ('Yogi', 'Linda', 'Yorbi', 'Tess', 'Jill'). In turn, each name could have an Array of their 10 most favorite things...and so on...

Answer 3

An array is a container; where certain elements are defined and given a subscript;

Example:

Array(1)
Array(2)
Array(3)

This array is called Array, the container is named an Array which holds 3 values; each defined in an index subscript.

Answer 4
