A collection of data elements (variables) identified by a common name and distinguished from one another by numbers representing their positions in the collection The distinguishing numbers are called subscripts
(n ) a set of scalar data, all of the same type and type parameters, whose individual elements are arranged in a rectangular pattern It may be a named array, the target of an array pointer, an array section, a structure component, a function value or an expresion Its rank is at least one In Fortran 77, arrays are always named and always variables
A collection of data items, all of the same type, in which each item's position is uniquely designated by an integer
An array is a Lattice for which all the elements are uniquen and fit into memory Also, an aperture synthesis radio telescope is known as an array, but that usage is avoided in this paper
an impressive display; "it was a bewildering array of books"; "his tools were in an orderly array on the basement wall"
A numbered list of elements Arrays can be made of any of the primitive types For example: int[3] aI = (42, 56, 85); print(aI[0]); // first element of the array print(aI[1]); // second element of the array print(aI[2]); // last element of the array aI is an array of 3 int's aI is a one dimensional array, it just needs one index Arrays can have any number of dimensions Arrays are discussed in more detail in Constructs, arrays
