arrays
Data structure grids
Arrays are orderly arrangements or impressive displays: an array of options, a dazzling array of colors.
The word suggests items spread out for viewing or selection.
In computing, an array is a data structure holding multiple values in indexed positions.
To array is to arrange or dress impressively: troops arrayed for battle, arrayed in silk.
