4.1 Arrays
➢ a structured datatype is composed of several data items in which each data item
a simple data type
One Dimensional
→ Array is a group of similar datatypes with a fixed number of
components.
→ One-dimensional array - collection of similar datatypes in list
form
• Each element has a unique number starting from zero (0)
and ending at n – 1, where n is the fixed size of the array.
• Declaration and initialization of the array
• Accessing values on the array
• If the size of the array would increase
Two Dimensional Array
→ stored data is manipulated using table from
→ intend to perform matrix manipulation, the elements are stored on
row and column coordinates.
