array

An array is an ordered collection of information, similar to a mathematical matrix, and used in computer programming to provide a multidimensional ordered set which can be accessed by a single variable name using subscript  ?parameters to identify a specific element within the array.

In C++ it is advised to use a std::vector instead (references 1 and 2), see C++ array
