What are the advantages of arrays?

Answer 1

Advantages:

1. You can use one name for similar objects and save then with the same name but different indexes.

2. Arrays are very useful when you are working with sequances of the same kind of data (similar to the first point but has a different meaning).

3. Arrays use reference type and so.

Disadvantages:

1. Sometimes it's not easy to operate with many index arrays.

2. C environment doesn't have checking machism for array sizes.

3. An array uses reference mechanism to work with memory which can cause unstable behaviour of operating system (unless special methods were created to prevent it) and often even "blus screen" and so on. store the many characters or vales in a single variable.

Answer 2

In comparison to what? For what purpose?

An array is built of a series of elements that each hold a strongly typed value, that is it's purpose and should be used when you need to store data in that fashion (e.g. A series of dates that need to be sorted).

Answer 3

Arrays are advantageous because they provide an orderly structure in which you can store large amounts of data. And their multi-dimensional capabilities allow efficient data characteristic storage as well. Plus, the only alternative to arrays is a long list of variables, which are hard to keep track of and don't have the indexing (search) capabilities of an array.

Answer 4

Array basically store a similar kind of data with a commomn signature. So only by changing on the number of an array we can fetch a particualr value . So you can do a linear search by using array.

Answer 5

The advantage of an array (in any programming language) is that the array stores several pieces of data with the same variable name, and that the same commands can be used to refer to any element - elements are distinguished through the subscript.

For a comparison with and without arrays, imagine you have 100 numbers, and want each of them to have an initial value of 5. // Without arrays: value001 = 5; value002 = 5; value003 = 5; value004 = 5; ... value100 = 5; // With an array: for (int i = 0; i

Answer 6

Arrays can store more than one value, and if set up correctly, even different data types. This is useful for generating lists, allowed filetypes for uploads, etc.
