Abstract
In this article we have presented a thorough discussion on an important topic, the array which is taught in the fundamental courses in computer programming. To this end, we have presented taxonomy of arrays based on the following four main topics: i) Memory representations; ii) Mapping Functions; iii) Subscript type; and iv) Abstract data types. We also suggest a flow of teaching these topics to the students. We believe that this effort will be useful for the instructors to plan their courses, and will be a good source of learning in general.
