An array is one of the simplest data structures in computer programming. Arrays hold a group of equally sized data elements in a continuous block of memory. Individual elements are accessed by index? using integers (contrast: [associative array]?). |

An array, also known as a vector, is one of the simplest data structures in computer programming. Arrays hold a group of equally sized data elements in a continuous block of memory. Individual elements are accessed by index? using integers (contrast: [associative array]?). |

Arrays permit efficient (constant time, O(1)) random access but not efficient insertion and deletion of elements (which are O(n), where n is the size of the array). Compare linked lists which have the opposite trade-off. |
