contiguous

c++ no bounds checking
you can use any number for the subscript
if you put a constant value as a param for a collection like an array
and then allocate more into that object you can later access the indexes out of bounds

so this has nothing to do with databases we're managing the memory of our machine during this program

a good practice is to use constants and stay within your preferred



arrays

lets write the pseudo code for linear search
if index is equal to value
found tru
position index
end if



right at the beginning of chapter ten we see an example of an isspace function in the cstring class
