What is an Associative Array? Instead of accessing the array by using an index value, you’ll access it by using a key.

We can access a regular array with the index value of the element, but we have to use the assigned key value to access an associative array element. Why would you want to use an associative array over a regular array?

To add a new element to the associative array, we use the array name, and between the appended brackets, we specify the key name.
