  Really? C has no array handling libraries whatsoever (standard C, that is).
The core language has exactly one type of array. (Ok, two if you count
dynamically allocated and statically allocated arrays as distinct, although
they behave basically in the exact same way.)

  The C++ standard libraries have two data containers which could be
considered "arrays" (std::vector and std::deque). Perhaps three if you
count std::string. They are pretty straightforward and well-defined.
