What are Arrays?

• Arrays are collection of similar items in sequential order.
• Arrays have fixed sizes, i.e. arrays are static data Structures.
• Arrays provide indexing mechanism for retrieval of items in constant O(1) time.
  • This is done by using pointer arithmetic internally.
  • Suppose if we know the properties like: starting memory address and size of item
  • To retrieve the nth item: we can use the formula: starting_address + n * size_of_item

Modules in Arrays:
