Explanations please? Arrays, data members, member functions

Hi again, I'm back once more to ask for a bit of clarification on arrays, data members, and member functions. The book I'm following doesn't really explain them outside an example that states 'spacecraft' is an object, with a data member 'energy' and a member function 'fireWeapons()'. Then it moves on and for the next chapter pretty much never brings it up again? I'm lost on that whole topic now. As for arrays, if I get it correctly, they're essentially (as I see it in my mind atm) a storage for any list of a single type of data? They're created like any other variable with the addition of [x] (being the number of 'items' in the 'list')? I'm liking this book so far, but its explanations could be a bit clearer, or perhaps I'm bad at catching the obvious - and I have a tendency to obsess on the one thing I don't understand fully until it makes it impossible to move on.. Any further explanation/clarification on these items would be greatly appreciated.

Doopydoo, I think I hit my epiphany moments before you took the time to help, but I appreciate it nonetheless. If my assessment is wrong, please let me know and I'll grudgingly go back to trying to make heads or tails of it all.
