Question on the content of the book

This is great stuff.

you wrote "...Said differently, an array is mostly a contiguous block of memory..."

Why would you the word "mostly". Is it because OS might allocate non-contigues chunk of memory?

I think I was referring to view on array. For example if you have a array Z and create a view Z[::2], this new array (which is merely a view on Z in not contiguous).
