Description

Generally, a collection of data items that can be selected by indices computed at run-time, including: Array data structure, an arrangement of items at equally spaced addresses in computer memory Array data type, used in a programming language to specify a variable that can be indexed Associative array, an abstract data structure model that generalizes arrays to arbitrary indices or various kinds of the above, such as Bit array or bit vector Dynamic array, allocated at run time Parallel array of records, with each field stored as a separate array Sparse array, with most elements omitted, to store a sparse matrix Variable-length array Jagged array, where the rows have different lengths individually or various related concepts: Array processor, a computer to process arrays of data (not to be confused with a processor array) Array programming, using matrix algebra notation in programs (not the same as array processing) Array slicing, the extraction of sub-arrays of an array APL (programming language) or also: Video Graphics Array (VGA), a display adapter and video format, and many variants thereof (EVGA, FWVGA, QVGA, QXGA, SVGA, SXGA, SXGA+, TXGA, UVGA, XGA, XGA+, *****)
