Data Structures Using C, 2nd Edition by Pearson

3.1 INTRODUCTION

An array is a data structure with the help of which a programmer can refer to and perform operations on

a collection of similar data types such as simple lists or tables of information. For example, a list of names

of ‘N’ number of students of a class can be grouped under a common name (say studList). This list

can be easily represented by an array called studList for ‘N 5 45’ students as shown in Figure 3.1
