REPRESENTATION OF ARRAYS

This is not uncommon to determine a large number of programs which procedure the elements of an array in sequence. However, does it mean that the elements of an array are also stored in a particular sequence in memory. The answer based on the operating system under which the program is running. Though, the elements of an array are stored in particular sequence to the extent possible. If they are being stored in a particular sequence, then how are they sequenced. Is it that the elements are stored row wise or column wise? Again, it based on the operating system. The former is called as row major order & the later on is called column major order.
