Answer from AI

Array data in RAM is stored as a contiguous block of memory, where each element occupies a fixed size depending on the array's data type.

For example, an array of 10 integers int will occupy 10 * 4 bytes consecutively. This allows efficient access to elements by index, calculating the element's address as the base address of the array plus the index multiplied by the size of the element.

In Flutter (Dart), arrays are represented by the List class, which can be of fixed length or dynamic. For low-level memory access, Uint8List and other typed lists can be used, which store data in a contiguous block of memory, important for performance and interaction with native code.
