Data Structure

3. What is an array data structure

4. Key
Characteristics
of Arrays
•Fixed Size: The size of the array is defined at the time of creation
and cannot be changed dynamically (in most programming
languages).
•Homogeneous Elements: All elements in an array are of the
same data type.
•Contiguous Memory Allocation: Arrays are stored in contiguous
memory locations, allowing efficient indexing and access.
•Indexing: Each element in an array is identified by an index. In
most programming languages, the index starts from 0.
•Random Access: Arrays allow random access to elements,
meaning you can directly access any element using its index in
constant time O(1).
