[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"][QUOTE="lafigueroa"][QUOTE="Cycloptis"]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.hellsing321a 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...
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:
