can someone explain to me when and what an array is please?

Hello, I have been looking into arrays, but to be honest they don't make any sense, what are they and when do I use them?

Thanks for the help. Sorry to be a layman.

Think of it as either an indexed list, or an indexed grid.

When would I use it? whats it for?

Well a list is like a shopping list. There are several functions to deal with manipulating the items. They vary from reordering them to adding, and deleting them in multiple ways.

A grid is like the x, and y coordinates you use for objects. You store data at the x, and y position.

AHH yeah, that makes sense. Keep forgetting to use construct 2 tutorials. Thanks for this!

Cheers man. Probably be quite useful to use in some games or apps.
