Array Structure: Memory (Structure Size) Can Be Changed Dynamically

Array is a collection of homogeneous data that allocates static memory and accesses elements using indexes. Structure is a collection of heterogeneous data that allocates dynamic memory and accesses elements using the dot operator. While array element access is faster, adding or deleting elements in an array is more difficult than in a structure since existing data needs to be moved.
