Synon array processing is totally intuitive for any synon user. You do not need to open a manual. If you can use a file, you can use an array. The main difference is that there are only 4 function types: CRTOBJ, CHGOBJ, DLTOBJ, RTVOBJ, and only 1 "ACP" (set of Key fields)
The array processing really behaves more like an indexed file than an array. The file portion (Records) is a multiple occurrence data structure and the index portion is an array. The data structure contains the fields as defined in the *ARRAY file. The array(Index) is the fields defined as the Key concatenated with the occurrence# of the data structure. When you create an element in the array (a record in the file), the program takes the next available occurrence of the data structure and loads the fields. The program also creates the Index element by concatenating the key fields with the occurrence# of the newly added data structure. The program then does a Sort Array to sequence the Index so that the records may be accessed in key sequence. Any time a record is deleted, the Index element is blanked out and the Index is Sorted (Sort Array). This is a very clean solution and the performance is surprisingly good considering that the array is sorted after each add or delete.
When accessing the data, a LOKUP is performed on the array using the key value with blanks instead of the occurrence# and looking for GT in the array. This allows processing of partial keys as positioners or restrictors. The program then reads the data structure for the occurrence# taken from the array element to get the data(fields). For the next occurrence, it is not necessary to do another LOKUP (which is slow) because the array is sorted. The program only has to read the next element in the array and continue the processing as long as the partial key matches the key in the array. From the point of view of the Synon user, this processing is identical to a file RTVOBJ.
Synon loads the array from the bottom (an RPG technique to improve performance in large arrays) because the LOKUP command may be given a starting position, but cannot be stopped until every element is checked when no match is found. By loading the array backwards from the bottom and counting the elements, the search may be started at the last element loaded and only elements which contain data are read.IF No Match is Found
An array is defined for 1000 elements.
Only 10 elements are loaded.
These are loaded to occurrences 991 thru 1000.
When the LOKUP is performed, it starts at 991 and only 10 compares are made.
** If the array is loaded from the top, 1000 compares are performed.

∙ 12y agoThe size of a function can be determined from the size of the array. Arrays and functions are both used in computer programming.
It's actually not true. In order to make a good program which can work with big arrays you have to use dynamic arrays because you can cleam memory used by dymanic arrays any time. For static arrays is not true, memery which was reserved for static arrays will be available for other applications only when you finish working with your application (which is working with static arrays).
arrays are used to store the group of data which are of same type. These arrays can be applied in student mark sheet applications,online library applications etc.
Two dimensional arrays.
for arrays you can list the different arrays and what attributes that you give to them.

it can be both
BAC arrays use bacterial artificial chromosomes to clone DNA fragments for analysis, while DNA arrays use immobilized DNA sequences for high-throughput analysis of gene expression or genotyping. BAC arrays are useful for large DNA fragments, while DNA arrays are more suitable for analyzing gene expression profiles or detecting DNA variations.
yes

Let me correct you: two-dimensional arrays are used in programming to represent matrices. (Matrices are objects of mathematics, arrays are objects of programming.)

Storing lots of data.
