AnswerWhat is an array:

In programming languages, an array is a way of storing several items (such as integers). These items must have the same type (only integers, only strings, ...) because an array can't store different items. Every item in an array has a number so the programmer can get the item by using that number. This number is called the index. In some programming languages, the first item has index 0, the second item has index 1 and so on. But in some languages, the first item has index 1 (and then 2, 3, ...).

What is difference between Bac arrays and DNA arrays?

BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) arrays are a type of DNA arrays. BAC arrays are usually used for a technique called array CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridisation) which is used to identify gross deletions or amplifications in DNA (which for example is common in cancer). DNA arrays include BAC arrays but also oligo, cDNA, and promoter arrays. Oligo and cDNA arrays are typically used for gene expression analysis (looking to see how heavily expressed each gene is). Oligo arrays can also be used for SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analysis. Promoter arrays are used to identify transcription factor binding sites.

Dynamically allocated array waste storage and time?

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).
