Arrays
Arrays are complex data structures that lend flexibility and power to the programmer to capture and store data that a simple variable cannot do. This chapter builds on the pointers and pointer math covered in the previous chapter to define, describe and u

This has forced most people to become computer savvy in ways that were unimaginable even 15 years ago. However, being savvy with computers these days generally means being able to use apps, write email, and manipulate websites. These apps and websites are generally preprogrammed to work in a point-and-click fashion, with a limited menu of things that can be done by the user. The intent, of course, is to make them easy and intuitive to use, as well as to ensure that the common user cannot do any damage to the system. The programmers of the app or the website take on the responsibility of making the user’s life as simple (and as secure) as possible. That is, the user need not know how the app works … just how to use it. The truly valuable skills, therefore, come from being able to program a computer to do interesting and useful things. This can only be done by being able to write programs that
