1-Dimensional Arrays

An array is an ordered, static set of elements stored in a fixed-size memory location.
An array can only store one data type (e.g., all integers or all strings).
In CIE pseudocode, indexing starts at 1; in Python, indexing starts at 0 (zero-indexed).
Declare a 1D array in pseudocode: `DECLARE scores: ARRAY[1:5] OF INTEGER` creates an array with 5 elements (indices 1–5).
Assign a value: `scores[4] ← "Red"` (pseudocode) or `scores[4] = "Red"` (Python).
Access an element: `MyArray[1]` (pseudocode) or `array[0]` (Python).
Modify an element: `MyArray[index] ← newValue` (pseudocode) or `array[index] = newValue` (Python).
Use `len(array)` in Python to get array length; pseudocode requires storing the length in a variable.

2-Dimensional Arrays

A 2D array extends a 1D array by adding another dimension, visualised as a table with rows and columns.
In pseudocode, declare: `DECLARE arr: ARRAY[1:3, 1:2] OF STRING` (3 rows, 2 columns).
In Python, initialise as a list of lists: `arr = [["Alice", 25], ["Bob", 30]]`.
Access an element: `arr[row, col]` (pseudocode) or `arr[row][col]` (Python).
Assign a value: `players[3,1] ← "Holly"` (pseudocode) or `players[2][0] = "Holly"` (Python).
Iterate using nested loops: outer loop for rows, inner loop for columns.
Examiner tip: Always check the question's example to see whether the order is `[row][col]` or `[col][row]`.

Common Operations on Arrays

Iterating over a 1D array: use a single `FOR` loop from 1 to length (pseudocode) or `for element in array:` (Python).
Iterating over a 2D array: use nested `FOR` loops (pseudocode) or nested `for` loops (Python).
Length of a 1D array: in Python, `len(array)`; in pseudocode, store the declared size in a variable.
Modifying elements: assign a new value to a specific index.
Accessing elements: use the index (starting at 1 in pseudocode, 0 in Python).

Pseudocode vs Python Syntax

Declaration: `DECLARE arr: ARRAY[1:5] OF INTEGER` (pseudocode) vs `arr = [0]×5` or `arr = []` (Python).
Indexing: pseudocode uses `arr[1]` for first element; Python uses `arr[0]`.
Assignment: `arr[1] ← 10` (pseudocode) vs `arr[0] = 10` (Python).
2D indexing: `arr[1,2]` (pseudocode) vs `arr[0][1]` (Python).
Iteration: `FOR i ← 1 TO 5` (pseudocode) vs `for i in range(5):` (Python).

Worked Example: 2D Array Access

Given a 2D array `minsWatched` with rows (days) and columns (children), access specific values.
Example: `minsWatched[0][3]` gives Elias's minutes on Monday (row 0, col 3).
To output Lyla's minutes on Tuesday: `print(minsWatched[1][1])` (row 1, col 1).
To output Harry's minutes on Friday: `print(minsWatched[4][2])` (row 4, col 2).
To output Quinn's minutes on Wednesday: `print(minsWatched[2][0])` (row 2, col 0).

A 1D array of 5 integers with indices 1–5 (pseudocode).

A 2D array with 4 rows (players) and 2 columns (name, score).
