Answer 2

The difference between the array description and the ordinary variable is the, array is always declared, initialized, and accessed by subscription, whereas the ordinary variable has no subscription.

Other differences include -

• Array is a set of multiple values where as at a time, the variable can store single value.
• The syntax for ordinary variable definition is data_type v1, v2, whereas, Data type v1 (N1) ,v2 (N2), is the syntax for the array variable; where v1,v2 are the variable names and N1, N2 are the integer constants that indicate the maximum array size.
