Arrays
An array is a data structure that allows you to store multiple values of the same data type in a
single variable.

Each value in an array is called an element, and each element is accessed by its index - a
numeric value that represents its position in the array.

An array is an ordered, static set of elements

Can only store 1 data type

A 1D array is a linear array

Creation

arrayname=new Array() //empty array

A = new Array(size)//array with size

A = [value1, value2, value3, ..., valueN]//with values

A = new Array()

loop i from 0 to 4

A[i] = i + 1

end loop

loop i from 0 to 4

print(A[i])

end loop
A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

loop i from 0 to length(A) - 1

print(A[i])

end loop

size = 5

A = new Array(size)

loop i from 0 to size-1

A[i] = i + 1

end loop

loop i from 0 to size-1

print(A[i])

end loop
Collection
a collection is a data structure that groups multiple elements into a single unit. Collections are used to store,
retrieve, manipulate, and communicate aggregate data. They are fundamental to many programming tasks, as they
provide a way to manage and organize data efficiently.

A collection is a general term for a group of objects. It can be any type of data structure that holds multiple elements,
like a list, set, or queue.
Collection methods in Pseudocode are:
•addItem( new data item )
•resetNext( ) start at beginning of list
•hasNext( ) checks whether there are still more items in the list
•getNext( ) retrieve the next item in the list
•isEmpty( )check whether the list is empty
