Array: An array is a collection of variables that are accessed with an index number. An array is declared with a length or with initializers that determine the length. The following code declares an array of six elements with the first element at arr[0] and the last at arr[5]: int arr[6]:, processing arrays are created like so: int arr = new int[6]:, in c++, declaring the array initializes each element in the array when the object is created only if the array is declared in the class: class myclass {int arr[6]:, // will be created when an instance of // myclass is created } the elements would be accessed as follows: int first = arr[0]:, int last = arr[5]:,
