Talk:Array

What is this task actually asking to do? The explanation is reasonably straightforward (though it omits associative arrays entirely) but it doesn't say what is actually to be done. The single example (in C) computes a histogram over a file - is that what all (different-language) examples in this task should do? Sgeier 14:19, 2 January 2008 (MST)

This isn't a task, but an explanation of a data structure (check the backlinks). The code is just for illustration, and it probably shouldn't use the {header} template.

An associative array is an array in name only. It is a map of some sort underneath (e.g. alist, tree, hash). --IanOsgood 15:00, 2 January 2008 (MST)
