Array Data Structure

What is an Array?

An array is a data structure that stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. In other words, an array is a collection of variables of the same type, which are accessed by a common name.

Types of Array:

One-dimensional array: This is the simplest type of array, where the elements are stored in a single row.

Multi-dimensional array: This type of array allows you to store elements in a two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or even higher-dimensional grid.

Jagged array: This type of array is an array of arrays, where each element in the array is an array of varying length.

Advantages of using Array:

Arrays allow for quick and easy access to elements. You can access any element in an array by its index, which makes it easy to manipulate data.

Arrays are great for storing large amounts of data in a structured way. You can organize data in an array in a way that makes sense for your program.

Arrays are efficient in terms of memory usage, as they allow you to store a large amount of data in a small space.

Some limitations of arrays are:

Arrays have a fixed size, which means you need to know the size of the array before you can create it.

Arrays can be inefficient when it comes to adding or removing elements, as you need to shift all the other elements to make space.
