Getting Started

An array is a data structure that stores one or more similar type of values in a single value.

An array could be said to be a collection of data. It could be an empty collection like an empty box, or with just one item, like a car with just one person in it — it could take more you know, or with as many items as you want.

Arrays are of various types, numerically indexed arrays, associative arrays, multidimensional arrays.

Creating An Array

Other times you could want an array so simple yet too stressful to type. You could want an array of numbers or an array of English letters.
