About this task
Sometimes it is useful to store groups of related data in a way
that makes data retrieval easy. For example, you could store a list
of employee names in an array and retrieve them by number. An array
is an arrangement of elements in one or more dimensions, identified
by a single name. An array called
employee could contain
names as follows:
EMPLOYEE
(1) Adams, Joe
(2) Crandall, Amy
(3) Devon, David
(4) Garrison, Donna
(5) Leone, Mary
(6) Sebastian, Isaac
In some computer languages, you use the number of the element to
access an element in an array. For example, employee(1) would retrieve
Adams, Joe. In REXX, you use compound variables.
