Array

English (en)

Array
An array is a series of memory 
locations – or 'boxes' – each of 
which holds a single item of data, 
but with each box sharing the same 
name. All data in an array must be 
of the same data type.
An array is a data structure that 
contains a group of elements of the 
same data type and stores them 
together in contiguous memory 
locations. Computer programmers use 
arrays in their programs to organize 
sets of data in a way that can be 
easily sorted and searched.
