Re: What are SZ array?

I see from your follow-up post that the original author uses a different
meaning altogether for the term 'SZ array', so you may disregard my
explanation of a much different meaning of the term.

Actually, that’s a pretty good explanation.

So my guess is that the terminology has nothing to do with arrays as
we know them today.

It looks like the term simply stuck since C/C++ string are always
single-dimensioned, zero- based arrays of <chars>, then I can see how
the term got associated to today’s single-dimensioned, zero- based
array of <T>.

Thanks.
