Talk:Array: Difference between revisions

Line 43:
:::::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)
 
:::::: <nowiki>[</nowiki>Please do not feed my interest in word-playing or filology by writing such a nonsense thing like "associative array" &ne; "array" deduced by "butterfly" &ne; "fly"; it's a completely different thing! I couldn't help answering this with at least this ''bit'' :D<nowiki>]</nowiki> --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 22:42, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
