Laid out (arrayed) out before you...
We're at the last building block - data structures! But, there is no way to cover every kind of data structure because it is possible for anyone (even you) to make a new one at any time. So instead, we will start with the Array. Just about every programming language includes a built in type that corresponds to an array and the defining characteristic of an array is that each element stored in it can be referenced by an index number that counts up from index [0] and goes up through index [n-1] where 'n' is the number of elements in the array. Usually, there is an easy way to know how many elements there are in an array with some sensible name like 'size', 'length', or 'len'. That is a bunch of words, so let's see a simple example of an array called 'example' with ten elements in it. Here is the list of all of the elements along with their indexes (indices?): example[0] example[1] example[2] example[3] example[4] example[5] e
