Quick, what's an Array? If you don't answer in the next ten minutes, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ban you.

Still going to have to ban you.








When I get my mod powers of course.

a set of variables with the same name. ex. Array Gufu(5) Gufu.0=x GUfu.1=y Gufu.2=z Gufu.3=aa Gufu.4=bb unless I'm remembering the wrong thing...

Yeah, they're strung together into a group though. Sort of like a battery of laser cannons on a Star Destroyer.

I plan on getting my minor in CS, and my major (maybe even get a phd) in history.

Well it certainly depends on what languague you're using, but traditionally an array is simply a series of sequential memory locations.  This definition holds for C and C++, where the array you deal with is really just a pointer to the first memory location. When you specify which index of an array you want, such as array[4] = 0, you're simply taking the pointer to the beginning of the array and adding 4 * (the size of the datatype). With other languages though, like Java, you're actually dealing with well-defined progamming structure that simply mimics the front-end of a C-style array. 

Thank you everyone, this was Teuf's programming lesson for the day.  :wink:

Just so ya know...it will really depend on your school's CS program and what courses you take, but you probably won't learn all that much about game programming or how to work with consoles from your classes.  I'm not sure how it is at your college, but at my school the CS courses tend to focus on very high-level, object-oriented programming thats easy to create and easier to understand, but doesn't perform very well.  With games, especially on consoles, you have to get into a lot of low-level close-to-the-hardware nonsense since every kilobyte of memory counts.
