A good answer might be:

Probably not. It would be nice to have some organized way of reading and storing the values.

An array is an object that can be used to store a list of values. It is made out of a contiguous block of memory that is divided into a number of "slots." Each slot can hold a value, and all the values are of the same type (for example, primitive type int.) The picture shows an array.

The name of this array is data. The slots are indexed 0 through 9, and each slot holds an int. Each slot can be accessed by using its index. For example, data[0] is the slot which is indexed by zero (which contains the value 23), data[5] is the slot which is indexed by 5 (which contains the value 14).

Important Facts:

• Indexes always start at zero, and count up by one's until the last slot of the array.
• If there are N slots in an array, the indexes will be 0 through N-1.

Sometimes the index is called a subscript. The expression data[5] is sometimes pronounced "data-sub-five" as if it were an expression from mathematics: data₅.

QUESTION 2:

What value is in data[7]   ?
