What is an Array?
Explore the core concepts of arrays in C++, including how to declare, initialize, and access both static and dynamic arrays. Understand array indexing, memory storage, and how arrays serve as foundational structures for more complex data types.
In this lesson, we will revise the basic concepts of arrays and go through some practical examples to get a grip over this simple yet powerful data structure.
Introduction
An array is a collection of items of the same type stored contiguously in memory. It is the simplest and most widely used Data Structure. Most of the other data structures for example stack and queues can be implemented using the array structure. This makes the array one of the central building blocks of all data structures.
