WAIT! When to use an array?

Good day,

After watching what is Enum and Structs lesson, Im little confused about when to use an array?

Is the enum a better replacement of an array or what?

Thank you in advance Amal

You would use an Array if you didn't really care about accessing things specifically. So say you just wanted to get a couple of numbers from a user, you could store them in an Array and then loop or them to print them out.
