what is an array ? describe with example.

Answer 1

An array is just a single variable that stores different information that is neat and organised. This PHP array is much similar to Java, as well as most other arrays in other languages:

$food = array("Orange", "Carrot", "Pizza");
// This defines the array "$food" and adds the foods

echo $food [1];
// This will echo "Carrot"

$food[] = "Apples";
// This will append "Apples" to the array "$food"

You can also go:

$foods_colors = array("Orange" => "Orange", "Carrot" => "Orange", "Apple" => "Red")

This is in PHP though, this is Java:

string food = {"Apples", "Carrots", "Pizza"}

System.out.println(food[1]);
// This will print "Carrots"
