# Arrays
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arrays in Misti don't have special syntax for declaration.
|
||
|
|
They are created the following way instead:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```misti
|
||
|
|
// Array[Int]
|
||
|
|
val numbers = Array(10, 20, 30)
|
||
|
|
// Array[Str]
|
||
|
|
val names = Array("Pablo", "Kim", "Mike")
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Accessing or mutating the array use a similar syntax to other languages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```misti
|
||
|
|
// Access. Note the dot
|
||
|
|
val secondNumber = numbers.[1]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Mutation. Note the dot
|
||
|
|
names.[2] = "Josh"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```md-warning
|
||
|
|
Place a dot between the array and square brackets to access or mutate an array.
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
If you don't place a dot, it will be interpreted as a generic parameter.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Importance of placing a dot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there is no dot between the array and square brackets, then it is parsed
|
||
|
|
as a generic parameter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```misti
|
||
|
|
// Access or mutation
|
||
|
|
variable.[index]
|
||
|
|
val n = numbers.[0]
|
||
|
|
numbers.[1] = 20
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Generic parameter
|
||
|
|
arrayOf[Datatype]
|
||
|
|
arrayOf[Str]
|
||
|
|
arrayOf[Bool]
|
||
|
|
```
