Array

In C language, arrays are reffered to as structured data types. An array is defined as finite ordered collection of homogenous data, stored in contiguous memory locations.

Here the words,

• finite means data range must be defined.
• ordered means data must be stored in continuous memory addresses.
• homogenous means data must be of similar data type.

Example where arrays are used,

• to store list of Employee or Student names,
• to store marks of a students,
• or to store list of numbers or characters etc.

Since arrays provide an easy way to represent data, it is classified amongst the data structures in C. Other data structures in c are structure, lists, queues and trees. Array can be used to represent not only simple list of data but also table of data in two or three dimensions.
