From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   array
  
      1. A collection of identically typed data items
      distinguished by their indices (or "subscripts").   The number
      of dimensions an array can have depends on the language but is
      usually unlimited.
  
      An array is a kind of {aggregate} data type.   A single
      ordinary variable (a "{scalar}") could be considered as a
      zero-dimensional array.   A one-dimensional array is also known
      as a "{vector}".
  
      A reference to an array element is written something like
      A[i,j,k] where A is the array name and i, j and k are the
      indices.   The {C} language is peculiar in that each index is
      written in separate brackets, e.g. A[i][j][k].   This expresses
      the fact that, in C, an N-dimensional array is actually a
      vector, each of whose elements is an N-1 dimensional array.
  
      Elements of an array are usually stored contiguously.
      Languages differ as to whether the leftmost or rightmost index
      varies most rapidly, i.e. whether each row is stored
      contiguously or each column (for a 2D array).
  
      Arrays are appropriate for storing data which must be accessed
      in an unpredictable order, in contrast to {lists} which are
      best when accessed sequentially.
  
      See also {associative array}.
  
      2. A {processor array}, not to be confused with
      an {array processor}.
