Using Block(C++) with Array Algorithms

As the name implies, Array Algorithms can be used with arrays. But because a Block (see Block(C++) and Part I of this tutorial), can always be used wherever an array is called for, Array Algorithms can also be used with Blocks. This is not an accident. In fact, Blocks and Array Algorithms were actually designed to be used together. A major design goal was to partition all array concerns into two disjoint sets: storage management concerns and algorithmic concerns. Consider the problem of inserting an element into a sorted array. The issue of what to do when the array is initially full (increase the size of the array) is handled by Block, while the insertion algorithm (find the cell where the element belongs, move some elements to the right by one position in order to free the cell, store the element into the cell) is handled by an Array Algorithm.
