Best Answer

Unix itself does not use arrays. However, some shell scripting languages such as bash or ksh have simple rudimentary uses of a singly dimensioned array.

If you want anything multi-dimensional or special use such as associative arrays, then you need a scripting language such as perl, or awk or python, etc.

It's actually not true. In order to make a good program which can work with big arrays you have to use dynamic arrays because you can cleam memory used by dymanic arrays any time.
