What happens when an entry in an array of fixed entry size is smaller than the fixed entry size?

Let’s say you have an array with a fixed size for each entry (ex: a string or some bytes). What happens if you store a smaller entry? Does the entry get padded with some empty value (zeroes) or does it simply get stored?

Edit:

Sorry for the error, thank you for pointing it out.

But `string` and `bytes` are _not_ fixed sizes. – user94559 Mar 24 '18 at 00:09

The question is not very clear. Are you talking about fixed size of array or the fixed size of dataType stored in array? – sameepsi Mar 26 '18 at 07:50
