🖇 Array (programming) §

= pluralization of homogeneous data structures

Types §

Shape §

• Rectangular: same number of elements per dimension
  • faster, less storage, inflexible
  • int[,,] X = new int[,,] → rectangular 3D-Array
  • X[1,1,1] → get element (can’t extract arrays)
• Jagged: different number of elements per dimension
  • slower, more storage, flexible
  • int[][][] X = new int[][][] → jagged 3D-Array
  • X[1][1][1] → get element

Indexing §

• Integer-indexing
• Any type: 🔑 Associative array
