What is an ARRAY?
Array is a memory allocation which is used to store or contain multiple elements with unique indexes
or addresses at a continuous memory location.
With any other programming language references array is a collection of similar data types but here
in PP we can store any data type in a single array. !ecause we do not need to declare data types
before the array initiali"ation.#g$%

#Predefined Constants of an Array
CASE_LOWER )integer-:-/tis used with array=change=>ey=case)- and is used to con;ert array >eys to lower case. ?his
is also the default case forarray=change=>ey=case)-.
CASE_UPPER )integer-:- Itis used with array=change=>ey=case)- and is used to con;ert array >eys to upper case.
SORT_ASC )integer-$%SORT_ASC is used with array=multisort)- to sort in ascending order.
SORT_DESC )integer-$%SORT_DESC is used with array=multisort)- to sort in descending order.

SORT_REULAR )integer-SORT_REULAR is used to compare items normally.
SORT_!U"ERIC )integer-SORT_!U"ERIC is used to compare items numerically.
SORT_STRI! )integer-SORT_STRI! is used to compare items as strings.
SORT_LOCALE_STRI! )integer-SORT_LOCALE_STRI! is used to compare items as strings, based on the current
locale. Added in PP 3.3.1 and @.1.&.
SORT_!ATURAL )integer-SORT_!ATURAL is used to compare items as strings using Anatural orderingA li>e natsort)-.
