    subarray

    English Etymology From sub- + array.

    Noun subarray (plural subarrays)

    (programming) A contiguous subset of an array. Usage notes A subarray is to be contrasted with a subsequence. A subsequence only needs to have the same ordering as the original array, a weaker condition than contiguity.

    If a string is viewed as an array of characters, then a substring is a subarray.
