Zahlenarray

Zahlenarray is a German term that translates to "number array" in English. It refers to a data structure used in computer programming and mathematics to store a collection of numerical values. A Zahlenarray is typically a contiguous block of memory where each element holds a number. These numbers can be integers, floating-point numbers, or other numeric types.

Arrays are fundamental to many algorithms and programming tasks. They allow for efficient storage and retrieval of multiple related pieces of data. Accessing individual elements within a Zahlenarray is usually done using an index, which is a numerical position indicating the order of the element within the array. Indices typically start from zero in most programming languages.

The size of a Zahlenarray is often fixed at the time of its creation, meaning it cannot be easily resized later. However, dynamic arrays exist in some programming environments, which can grow or shrink as needed. Operations commonly performed on Zahlenarrays include searching for specific values, sorting the elements in ascending or descending order, and performing mathematical calculations on the stored numbers. The concept of a Zahlenarray is a building block for more complex data structures and algorithms.
