How do programming languages implement arrays?
ComputerScienceOne / Arrays, Collections & Dynamic
"Some languages treat arrays as full-fledged object types that not only hold elements, but have methods that can be called to manipulate or transform the contents of the array. Other languages treat arrays as a primitive type, simply using arrays as storage data structures. Languages can vary greatly in how they implement and represent arrays of elements, but many have the same basic usage patterns allowing you to create arrays and manipulate their contents."
