💡 This is primarily a technical term used in computer science and programming contexts across both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, the term is often used alongside its English equivalent 'array' due to the prevalence of English in tech culture. Portuguese translations are more common in formal educational settings and official documentation, while English terminology dominates in startup environments and international tech companies operating in Brazil.
