What is an Array?

A single reference of multiple same type variables.

What does this mean?

Arrays are variables that contain a set of data. This data must be of all the same type, whether it be integer, string or Object.

Real Life Example

When you create a filing cabinet, you are creating an array. While it may be indexed differently than a computer array, it provides the same functionality.

A filing cabinet contains an group of all the same type of objects, files. These objects can be accessed by requesting the first file, second file, etc. all the way the the nth file.
