Array can be considered as set of elements stored in consecutive memory locations but having ____
A
same data type
B
different data type
C
same scope
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Array can be considered as set of elements stored in consecutive memory locations but having same data type. An array is a collection of elements stored at contiguous memory locations. The idea is to store multiple items of the same type together in consecutive locations.

Detailed explanation-2: -The construction of an array type from an element type is called ‘’array type derivation”. In a nutshell, the answer is, array elements are stored in separate but contiguous locations.

Detailed explanation-3: -An array is a consecutive group of memory locations that all have the same name and the same type. To refer to a particular location, we specify the name and then the positive index into the array. The index is specified by square brackets, []. The first index is 0.

Detailed explanation-4: -Array: Arrays store elements in contiguous memory locations, resulting in easily calculable addresses for the elements stored and this allows faster access to an element at a specific index.

Detailed explanation-5: -An array is a collection of similar data elements stored at contiguous memory locations. It is the simplest data structure where each data element can be accessed directly by only using its index number.
