Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using arrays in programming.
- Dynamic size, easy to insert and delete elements, cache-friendly.
- Efficient for random access, fixed size, memory-friendly.
- Flexible size, efficient for small datasets, cache-unfriendly.
- Limited size, inefficient for dynamic resizing, contiguous memory.
Arrays in programming offer advantages such as efficient random access, fixed size, and memory-friendly characteristics. However, they have disadvantages like a fixed size, inefficient dynamic resizing, and the requirement for contiguous memory.
