  Arrays: - An array is a collection of elements of the same data type stored in contiguous memory locations. It is a derived data type and a homogenous data structure. It is a variable which can store multiple values of the same type under a single variable name, making it easier to manage and manipulate related data. The size of an array is fixed. To access the elements of an array, we use indexes or subscripts accordingly. array index or subscript is used to identify array elements address. Array index or subscript starts with 0 to n-1.   Declaration of an array: - The declaration of an array means telling the compiler to create an array variable and reserving memory for a fixed number of elements of the same data type.
