I must say that once I started using arrays for data storage and access, I never looked back. Compact, fast, malleable.
Many years ago I thought I would take a continuing education C programming class at a university. Knowing only HyperTalk, I muddled along until mid-semester when the curriculum now turned to arrays. I withdrew from the class; I wasn’t ready. Now, with more water under the bridge, I embrace the array.
