Array Related Algorithms

Arrays are important constructs in any programming language because their properties. First, each element in an array is accessed by its index number. It is just as quick to access the first element and the last element in an array. This property is often known as ``random access''. Second, it is possible to use a varaible to serve as an index to an array. This provides the means to use algorithms to perform operations on elements in an array. Useful operations include searching and sorting.
