What is non linear array?

Answer 1

What is ARRAY, explain its typesARRAY: -

It is the combination of same data type or if same data is needed more then none time then we use array.

Types Normally there are two types of array.

(1) One dimensional array

(2) Two dimensional array

(1) One dimensional array: -

This array is in form a list (vertical\Horizontal) the data input output or process in one dimensional array with the help of loop.

The syntax of one dimensional array will be as:

Array name [strength]

For example

A [5];

The structure of above syntax will be as:

A (0)

A (1)

A (2)

A (3)

A (4)

(2) Two dimensional array: -

Two dimensional array is also called a table because it consist of rows and columns. The syntax of two dimensional arrays will be as:

Data type array name [rows] [columns]

For example

Int [3] [2];

The structure of above syntax will be as:

A [0] [0] A [0] [1]

A [1] [0] A [1] [1]

A [2] [0] A [2] [1]

The data input output are process in this array with the help of nested loop.

Answer 2

All arrays are linear data structures, as are all lists. Arrays are linear because multiple elements are allocated in contiguous memory. If the array is a pointer array, only the pointer array need be contiguous; the data being pointed at can reside anywhere in memory, whether contiguous or not (you might use a separate pointer array to indirectly alter the order of elements in another array). Large and dynamic multi-dimensional arrays are typically allocated as a large array of pointers each of which points to a small array of data elements. For instance, a four-dimensional array might be allocated as a contiguous three-dimensional array of pointers, each of which points to a separately allocated one-dimensional array of data elements. Although this uses more memory overall to cater for all the pointer variables, allocating separate memory to each one-dimensional array is more likely to succeed than if all the elements were allocated as a contiguous multi-dimensional array, especially if the individual data elements are quite large.

Answer 3

A linear array is a not a non-linear array

Answer 4

depends on the number of elements and their datatype present in the array.
