It’s a dynamically-sized list of objects of the same type stored contiguously in memory.
dynamically-sized: The size of it can change as needed.
list: It stores multiple things together.
object: A bit of programmer defined data with.
of the same type: all the objects in the list are the same kind of object
stored contigiously in memory: if you think of memory as a bookshelf then all the objects on the list would be stored right next to each other on the bookshelf rather than spread across the bookshelf.
