Algorithm
An algorithm is a method or process to solve a particular problem

Array
An array is a collection of items, encapsulated into a single, neat unit. Arrays are generally used to keep closely related items together; a list of colours, names, etc..

Usage is covered in detail in the PHP manual: http://php.net/types.array

Examples

PHP Code:


			
$colors = array('red', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow');

echo $colors[2]; // green



$person = array('name' => 'Peter', 'age' => '23', 'location' => 'Scotland');

echo $person['name']; // Peter

Assignment
You assign a value to a variable. Assignments are done using a single equals sign. For example - $myVar = 5 - here you are assigning the value of 5 to $myVar
