Next topic will be Array.  This will begin after the break.

Have you seen  a child that gets tired of doing something over and over again.

Have you heard the word ARRAY?

DEFINITION OF AN ARRAY

An array is a contiguous and homogeneous memory location identified by a name.  The access to each location is done through an index or subscript.  Contiguous means the locations (memories) that are continuously next to each other.  Homogeneous meaning the cells can only hold data of the same kind.  All the data is of the same type: integer, float, etc.  The index is a number that represents each room, beginning with 0 and ending with a defined maximum value.  The index uniquely identifies each cell allowing to a corresponding location.
