| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Parallel arrays should be used whenever you need to create a list of items, but all the information you need to store will not fit into a single [[Primitive Data Type]].
| + | |
| − | For example, you need to to keep a list of people's names and addresses. A single array of [[String]]s seperating the addresses from names with a comma might not practical, and difficult to implement. Using one array for names, and another array of equal size for addresses would be easier and more practical.
