CHAPTER 47 — Common Array Algorithms

Line of boxes, vanishing into the horizon

Chapter Topics:

An array that uses a single subscript is called a one dimensional array. This is because one index is used to access the values in the array. Its cells are like numbered boxes lined up one after the other in a line.

A two dimensional array requires two indexes to access values. Its cells are like boxes arranged into a rectangle. Arrays of even higher dimension are possible, although rarely used. This chapter discusses typical ways to use one dimensional arrays.


QUESTION 1:

How could you print out every element of an array with 100 cells?
