An array is a collection of homogeneous data items stored in successive memory locations. It allows storing multiple elements of the same type using a single name. Elements in an array can be accessed using the array name and index number. Common operations on arrays include storing/retrieving elements, searching for a particular element or largest/smallest element, and calculating sum of elements based on certain criteria like even/odd indexing. Arrays can also be modified by inserting or deleting elements.
