When working with arrays, why is it beneficial to use a loop with a declared constant equal to the size of the array?

What will be an ideal response?


It is convenient to declare a named constant equal to the size of the array and use it as a limiting value in every loop that processes the array. That way, if the array size changes in the future, you need to modify only the value stored in the named, symbolic constant, and you do not need to search for and modify the limiting value in every loop that processes the array.
