Arrays in Data Structure
Data is represented in memory, and the need for arrays.
Faerie explains the need for arrays as we often have to
process large amounts of data, and arrays allow us to
store multiple values under one variable name. We'll
cover how arrays can be declared and how data can be
stored in memory. The declaration of arrays is language-
specific, and in this video, we'll consider the syntax in
the C language. The elements of the array are stored in
consecutive or continuous locations, with their index
starting from zero. The size of the array cannot be
changed at runtime. We'll discuss how data is stored in
memory, with the binary form of the data being
converted and then stored. The formula to calculate the
address of an element is the base address plus the
index value multiplied by the size of the data type. We'll
cover how to initialize the array at runtime using loops
or predefined functions, and how to take data from the
user and store it in an array. In the next video, we'll
discuss how to insert data, traverse arrays, and perform
different operations on 1D arrays. We'll also cover 2D
arrays and how to access their values.
