Arrays and Types of Arrays

Arrays in Programming

---------------------

An array is a data structure used to store multiple values of the same type in a single variable.

Arrays are commonly used in many programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python.

Types of Arrays

===============

1. One-Dimensional Array

------------------------

A linear list of elements.

Example: int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

2. Two-Dimensional Array

------------------------

A table or matrix-like structure (rows and columns).

Example: int matrix[2][3] = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}};

3. Multi-Dimensional Array

--------------------------

An array with more than two dimensions.

Example: int arr[2][2][3];

4. Dynamic Array

----------------
Size can be changed during runtime.

Example (C++ using vectors): vector<int> v;

5. Jagged Array

---------------

An array of arrays where inner arrays can have different lengths.

Example (Java): int[][] jagged = new int[3][];

6. Character Array (String)

---------------------------

Special array used to store characters.

Example: char name[10] = "Alice";
