What are the situations u have used in ur project for
Subcript and Index ?
1.if u use Subscript why not Index,why u choose Subscript
only?
2.if u use Index why not Subscript,what abt Displacement?

Answer Posted / app

SUBSCRIPT: No. of occurences of a table is called Subscript.
INDEX: The disposition of the element.
Index can be used in Table data searching and Sorting but
Subscript won't be useful for the above.
Subscript reperesents as a occurence no. it must be
converted to displacement value each time its used so.. it
is less efficent than index.
