Arrays: Review

Abstract

This paper contains a description of the array data type and some discussion as to how we allocate memory space to arrays. The value of defining arrays as an abstract data type is primarily for systems programmers, who works behind the scenes and bring you all the wonderful software that comes with Operating systems such as; compilers, linkers, files managers, text editors, etc. For most of us mortal people, we simply use arrays in our programming languages without thought of the more abstract nature of arrays. The theory of arrays is ubiquitous in the context of software and hardware verification and symbolic analysis. The basic array theory was introduced by McCarthy and allows to symbolically representing array updates.
