Week 05-06: Arrays and Null-Terminated Strings.
Learning Outcomes:
An array is a collection of variables of the same type that are referred to through a common name. A specific element in an array is accessed by an index. In C/C++, all arrays consist of contiguous memory locations. The lowest address corresponds to the first element and the highest address to the last element. Arrays may have from one to several dimensions. The most common array is the null-terminated string, which is simply an array of characters terminated by a null. Arrays and pointers are closely related; a discussion of one usually refers to the other. This chapter focuses on arrays. One should read both to understand fully these important constructs.
