Originiation of word "Array"
Ø We all know that the Lord Rama has been addressed by different names
like Janakirama, Kalyanarama, Anantharama etc.
Likewise, Krishna have different names like Gopal akrishna,
Ananthakrishna etc.
One day, our Ancestors were thinking how to refer to all those names
in an easy way.
You all know that our ancestors are pioneer in mathematics. With their
mathematical knowledge, they found a concept called ARRAY.
They decided to put all names of Rama in an array called RAMA and all
names of Krishna in an array called KRISHNA ................. ... ... ..
.. .. .. ... .. .. .. .. ..
From then on they start referring them as "ARRAY RAMA ARRAY KRISHNA"
LOL!!! That was a good one...
funny but do people with no programming or comp science background understand this? eventhough it is used (ARRAY) in other context as well it is not very common.
