  2. Random access
  3. Dynamic resizing
  4. Contiguous memory allocation

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of arrays?
  • Step 1: Understand what an array is. An array is a collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations.
  • Step 2: Know that arrays have a fixed size. This means once you create an array, you cannot change its size.
  • Step 3: Learn that arrays do not support dynamic resizing. If you need more space, you cannot add more elements to an existing array.
  • Step 4: Compare arrays with linked lists. Linked lists can change size dynamically, meaning you can add or remove elements easily.
  • Step 5: Identify the question. It asks which option is NOT a characteristic of arrays.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the ability to change size dynamically is NOT a characteristic of arrays, but rather a characteristic of linked lists.
