Representing Arrays in Memory

The elements of a one-dimensional array are stored in a single row with multiple columns in consecutive/continuous locations. Each element takes up space in memory depending on its data type.

The index of the array starts at zero, and the size of the array is the number of elements it can hold (n), with the index ranging from 0 to n-1.

To access an element in an array, use the formula: base address + (i * size of data type), where i is the index of the element.
