Array
Array is a linear data structure that stores a collection of elements of the same data type. Elements are allocated contiguous memory, allowing for constant-time access. Each element has a unique index number.
Operations on Array:
- Traversal: Iterating through the elements of an array.
- Insertion: Adding an element to the array at a specific index.
- Deletion: Removing an element from the array at a specific index.
- Searching: Finding an element in the array by its value or index.
Types of Arrays:
- One-dimensional array: A simple array with a single dimension.
- Multidimensional array: An array with multiple dimensions, such as a matrix.
Applications of Array:
- Storing data in a sequential manner
- Implementing queues, stacks, and other data structures
- Representing matrices and tables.
