==Concepts of array==
The fundamental idea behind array programming is that operations apply at once to an entire set of values. This makes it a [[high-level programming language|high-level programming]] model as it allows the programmer to think and operate on whole aggregates of data, without having to resort to explicit loops of individual scalar operations.
[[Kenneth E. Iverson]] described the rationale behind array programming (actually referring to APL) as follows:<ref>{{cite journal |last= Iverson |first=K. E. |title= Notation as a Tool of Thought |journal= Communications of the ACM |volume= 23 |issue= 8 |pages= 444–465 |year= 1980 |doi= 10.1145/358896.358899 |author-link= Kenneth E.
