  array
       
          1.  A collection of identically typed data items
          distinguished by their indices (or "subscripts").  The number
          of dimensions an array can have depends on the language but is
          usually unlimited.
       
          An array is a kind of aggregate data type.  A single
          ordinary variable (a "{scalar") could be considered as a
          zero-dimensional array.  A one-dimensional array is also known
          as a "{vector".
       
          A reference to an array element is written something like
          A[i,j,k] where A is the array name and i, j and k are the
          indices.  The C language is peculiar in that each index is
          written in separate brackets, e.g. A[i][j][k].  This expresses
          the fact that, in C, an N-dimensional array is actually a
          vector, each of whose elements is an N-1 dimensional array.
       
          Elements of an array are usually stored contiguously.
          Languages differ as to whether the leftmost or rightmost index
          varies most rapidly, i.e. whether each row is stored
          contiguously or each column (for a 2D array).
       
          Arrays are appropriate for storing data which must be accessed
          in an unpredictable order, in contrast to lists which are
          best when accessed sequentially.
       
          See also associative array.
       
          2.  A processor array, not to be confused with
          an array processor.
