Arrays

Arrays

1. Arrays are used when we require a number of variables to store similar data with...

   • a similar name
   • same data type

2. An array is a series of memory locations, or ‘boxes’

   • Each of which holds a single item of data
     • But each box shares the same name

3. An array is a single name given to a block of variables with an index value

4. Advantage

   • Arrays can refer to a complete set of values within a program by using just the index value
