In computer science, an array data structure (or simply an array) is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements (values or variables), each identified by at least one array index or key.

[hide]Description
An array is stored so that the position of each element can be computed from its index tuple by a mathematical formula.
The simplest type of data structure is a linear array, also called one-dimensional array.
History
Arrays are among the oldest and most important data structures, and are used by almost every computer program.
