Study Notes

Understanding Arrays

An array is a collection of elements, typically of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations.
Arrays allow for efficient storage and access of multiple items using a single variable name.

Subscript and Indexing

The subscript for an array always begins with zero, meaning the first element is accessed with the index [0].

Array Size

In the syntax data_type array_name [size];, the 'size' indicates the number of elements the array can hold, determining its maximum capacity.

Disadvantages of Arrays

A key disadvantage of arrays is their fixed size; once declared, the size cannot be changed, potentially leading to wasted space or overflow if more elements are needed than initially allocated.

Advantages of Arrays

Arrays are particularly useful for handling sequences of the same kind of data as they allow for easy and efficient data manipulation, access, and iteration through multiple elements with a single reference.
