Integrated Circuit Terminology
Array
a group of items that are arranged in rows and columns. For example a memory array would be a group of memory cells arranged in rows and columns.

Vb Glossary 1.0
array
Arrays allow you to refer to a series of variables by the same name and to use a number (an index) to tell them apart. This helps you create smaller and simpler code in many situations, because you can set up loops that deal efficiently with any number of cases by using the index number. Arrays have both upper and lower bounds, and the elements of the array are contiguous within those bounds. Because Visual Basic allocates space for each index number, avoid declaring an array larger than necessary.
A set of sequentially indexed elements having the same intrinsic data type. Each element of an array has a unique identifying index number. Changes made to one element of an array don't affect the other elements.


Internet Glossary
Array
In programming, a series of objects all of which are the same size and type. Each object in an array is called an array element. For example, you could have an array of integers or an array of characters or an array of anything that has a defined data type. The important characteristics of an array are:

· Each element has the same data type (although they may have different values).

· The entire array is stored contiguously in memory (that is, there are no gaps between elements).

Arrays can have more than one dimension. A one-dimensional array is called a vector; a two-dimensional array is called a matrix.

Noman's Java(TM) Glossary
array
A collection of data items, all of the same type, in which each item's position is uniquely designated by an integer. There are two ways to create arrays in Java. The first uses new, and specifies how large the array should be:

byte octet_buffer[] = new byte[1024];
Button buttons[] = new Button[10];


The second way to create an array is with an initializer, which looks just like it does in C:

int lookup_table[] = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128};

Java arrays are implemented as classes; they just aren't used as classes in the traditional sense of calling methods, and so on. Even though you won't find a class called Array in the Java API documentation, you can rest assured that under Java's hood there is an array class that is at least vaguely similar to the Vector class.

multidimentioanl array
Java also supports multidimensional arrays. These are implemented as arrays-of-arrays, as they are in C. You specify a variable as a multidimensional array type simply by appending the appropriate number of [] pairs after it. You allocate a multidimensional array with new by specifying the appropriate number of elements (between square brackets) for each dimension. For example:
byte TwoDimArray[][] = new byte[256][16];

Array Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Array
In computer science an array is a data structure consisting of a group of elements that are accessed by indexing. In most programming languages each element has the same data type and the array occupies a contiguous area of storage. Most programming languages have a built-in array data type.

Some programming languages support array programming (e.g., APL, newer versions of Fortran) which generalizes operations and functions to work transparently over arrays as they do with scalars, instead of requiring looping over array members.

Multi-dimensional arrays are accessed using more than one index: one for each dimension.
