An array is a data structure that stores a collection of elements of the same data type. The array elements are stored in successive memory locations.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of arrays<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the advantages of using arrays are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arrays allocate memory in contiguous memory locations for the elements. Array elements can be accessed randomly by using the array index number.<\/li>\n<li>Arrays represent multiple data items of the same type using a single name. There is no need to declare several variables to store the elements. We can use the single array name to store and retrieve the array elements.<\/li>\n<li>Two-dimensional arrays are used to represent matrices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Disadvantages of arrays<\/h2>\n<p>Some of the disadvantages of using arrays are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The programmer should know the maximum number of elements that the array can hold. The number of elements to be stored in an array should be known in advance.<\/li>\n<li>An Array is not dynamic. It is a static structure which means the array is of fixed size once declared the size of the array cannot be modified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advantages and Disadvantages of Arrays Let&#8217;s look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of using Arrays in this tutorial.
