| Question | Answer |
| This appears in an array declaration and specifies the number of elements the array can hold. | Size Declarator |
| To make programs easier to maintain, many programmers use these to specify the size of an array. | Named Constants |
| This is an individual storage location in an array. | Element |
| This is a number that identifies a storage location in an array. | Subscript |
| This is typically the first subscript in an array. | [0] |
| This is typically the last subscript in an array. | [arraySize - 1] |
| This algorithm uses a loop to step through each element of an array, starting with the first element, searching for a value. The search stops when the item is found or when then end of the array has been reached. | Sequential Search Algorithm |
| Many programming languages perform this, which means they do not allow a program to use an invalid array subscript. It happens typically during runtime. | Array Bounds Checking |
| This term describes two or more arrays that hold related data and the related elements in each array are accessed with a common subscript. | Parallel Arrays |
| You typically think of a two-dimensional array as containing _____ and _____. | Rows / Columns |
| Tool specifically designed for storing and processing lists of data. Processing a large number of items in this tool is usually easier than processing a large number of items stored in separate variables. | Array |
| A series of values separated with commas used to initialize an array is known as an _____. The values are stored in the order that they were initialized as. | Initialization List |
| Mistake that occurs when a loop iterates one time too many or one too few. | Off-by-One Error |
| Various techniques used to locate a specific item in a large collection of data, such as an array. | Search Algorithms |
| Arrays that can hold only one set of data. | One-Dimensional Arrays |
| Arrays that can hold multiple sets of data. They are like several identical arrays put together. | Two-Dimensional Arrays |
| True/False: Some programming languages use parentheses instead of brackets for array declarations. | True |
| Subscripts are also known as _____. | Indexes |
| The "_____" loop can simplify array processing when your task is simply to step through an array, retrieving the value of each element. | For Each |
| Can you store a mixture of data types in an array? | No, all data types must be the same as the data type declared with the array. |
| True/False: In most languages, the size of an array be changed while the program is running. | False |
| How do you look for a partial string match when searching an array of strings for a value? | You use a function similar to the "contains" function which returns true if a string is found inside another string, or false otherwise. |
| What two parameters do you assign a module/function in order to accept an array as an argument? | A parameter that accepts an array of the specified data type as an argument. (Example: Integer array[]) A parameter that accepts an Integer that specifies the number of elements in the array. (Example: Integer arraySize) |
| True/False: Unlike a one-dimensional array, a two-dimensional array requires two size declarators when being declared. One for the number of rows and the other for the number of columns. | True |
| True/False: You can do many things with arrays, but you can't pass one as an argument to a module or a function. | False: You can pass an array to a module/function by having two parameters that accept both the array and the array's size. |
