Array Explained
An array is a systematic arrangement of similar objects, usually in rows and columns.Things called an array include:
Music
- In twelve-tone and serial composition, the presentation of simultaneous twelve-tone sets such that the sums of their horizontal segments form a succession of twelve-tone aggregates
- Array mbira, a musical instrument
- Spiral array model, a music pitch space
Science
Astronomy
A telescope array, also called astronomical interferometer.
Biology
- Various kinds of multiple biological arrays called microarrays
- Visual feature array, a model for the visual cortex
Computer science
Generally, a collection of same type data items that can be selected by indices computed at run-time, including:
- Array (data structure), an arrangement of items at equally spaced addresses in computer memory
- Array (data type), used in a programming language to specify a variable that can be indexed
- Associative array, an abstract data structure model composed of key-value pairs, often implemented as a hash table or search tree
or various kinds of the above, such as:
or various related concepts:
- Array programming, using matrix algebra notation in programs (not the same as array processing)
- Array slicing, the extraction of sub-arrays of an array
or also:
Mathematics and statistics
