About
In computer science an array is a data structure consisting of a group of elements that are accessed by indexing. In most programming languages each element has the same data type and the array occupies a contiguous area of storage. Most programming languages have a built-in array data type.
Some programming languages support array programming (e.g., APL, newer versions of Fortran) which generalizes operations and functions to work transparently over arrays as they do with scalars, instead of requiring looping over array members.
Multi-dimensional arrays are accessed using more than one index: one for each dimension.
Arrays can be classified as fixed-sized arrays (sometimes known as static arrays) whose size cannot change once their storage has been allocated, and dynamic arrays, which can be resized.
