:::: Fundamentally I agree. (Except in some wording, maybe often computer scientists fail using human language? Array can't be too much distinct from "associative array", or we should call "array" ''abraca'' and "associative array" ''salakur''; otherwise the idea is that an associative array is just an array, one of the possible kind of; forget it if you did not mean that an "associative array" is not an "array") --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 15:09, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Associative array is not an array, just like butterfly is not a fly. Of course it is possible that the data of an associative array is internally stored in an array. After all, a real associative array can not exist in normal computer memory, you would need special hardware. Array is quite a clear concept, as specified in Wikipedia. For example, it is always indexed with integer. (Note: enumeration type ''is'' integer).
:::::I think this page should be an encyclopedia article. Then, some tasks could be created for performing some specific array operations. There is already at least [[Array Initialization]] and [[Creating an Array]]. Maybe there could be a category for grouping these. --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 16:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
