An array is a series of elements with the same data type that is placed in contiguous memory locations. This means that the memory allocation is assigned in consecutive memory blocks. Since it implements contiguous memory locations, the elements of the array can be individually accessed by the index. Let's take a look at the following array illustration:
As we can see in the preceding illustration, we have an array containing five elements. Since the array uses zero-based indexing, the index starts from 0. This index is used to access the element value and to also replace the element value. The memory address stated in the illustration is for example purposes only. In reality, the memory address might be different. However, it illustrates that the memory allocation is contiguous.Â
Now, if we want to create the preceding array in C++,...
