Array

An array is a series or list of variables in computer memory, all of which have the same name but are differentiated with special numbers called subscripts.

Subscript/ Index

A subscript, also called and index, is a number that indicates the positions of a particular item within an array.

Element

Each separate array variable is one element of the array.

Size of the array

The size of the array is the number of elements it can hold. 

Implicitly Sized

An implicitly sized array is one that is automatically given a size based on a list of provided values.

Dynamic arrays /

Dynamically allocated arrays

Arrays whose size can be altered are dynamic arrays, or dynamically allocated arrays

Initialization Loop

An initialization loop is a loop structure that provides initial values for every element in any array.

Populating an array

Populating an array is the act of assigning values to the array elements.

A variable array is on whose values change during program execution.

Constant array

A constant array is one whose values are assigned permanently when you write the program code.

Hard-Coded

Hard-coded values are explicitly assigned.

Flag

A flag is a variable that you set to indicate whether some element in one array is associated with the element in the same relative position in the other array or arrays.

Parallel arrays

Parallel arrays are two or more arrays in which each element in on array is associated with the element in the same relative position in the other array or arrays.

Early Exit

Leaving a loop as soon as a match is found is called an early exit

Out of Bounds

An array subscript is out of bounds when it is not within the range of acceptable subscripts.
