Arrays

holds many items of the same type

the values that you instantiate in an array

locations that are used to assign to each element found in the array

the way an element in a data structured is accessed, or modified

the default value for every object

since null isn’t a valid object, the code performed on null will result in this

goes in order through each value until the desired one is found

requires an ordered list of values, and every time it cuts the list of values in half until it finds the desired value

the selection sort searches and swaps

uses recursion, this type of sort divides and conquers, the array gets split into 2 pieces and then it is sorted, the 2 sorted pieces than come together to form one sorted list

using a method to call itself

the array is split into a sorted and unsorted part, the values from the unsorted part are placed at the correct position in the sorted part

an array that holds items in a 2 dimensional grid, it’s storing items in rows and columns
