This tutorial is geared toward java, but it applys to many programming languages.
Arrays let you hold multiple objects. Say you want to hold a bunch of numbers, instead of having a bunch of scattered int objects, you can use an array and hold it all in an organized fashion.
Arrays only let you hold one specific type of object, so you can't hold integers and Strings in one array. Also, arrays let you only hold a set limit of objects, so if you make the array have ten spots, you can only hold a max of ten objects and can never make more space. Of course you don't have to necessarily hold a object in an array spot.

So how do you create an array: here is an example
int myArray = new int[5];
this is an int array named myArray and can hold 5 int objects.

so here is the model
Object arrayName = new Object[arraySize];
Note: the objects are stored in number order and if you have five slots, the first slot is at 0 and the last is 4. It does Not start at 1.
To store a object in the array (from the example above)
myArray[0] = q;

where q is an int
To get the length of an array, use:
myArray.length
this will return 5 for my example.
the access an object it simply:
myArray[0].methodName();
Of course, change the number to get the different objects stored in the array.
So to recap...

1. An array holds a numerous amounts of objects
2. An array holds one type of Object
3. An array has a set amount of slots for objects
4. Object arrayName = new Object[arraySize]; Creating an array.
5. myArray[0] = q; Calling a specific slot
6. myArray.length (array length)
