Introduction to Arrays

An array in Python is a data structure that stores multiple values of the same data type in a single variable.

Unlike basic variables that store only one value, arrays allow grouping related values together under one name.

In Python, arrays are provided using the built in array module.

Arrays are useful when working with large collections of numeric data where all elements share the same data type.

They provide Efficient memory usage Better performance for numeric operations Strict data type control

Arrays are commonly used in scenarios where memory optimization is important.

A basic variable stores only one value.

An array stores multiple values under a single variable name.

This allows handling multiple related values together.
