∟Array References and Array Assignment Statements

This chapter provides tutorial examples and notes about array reference. Topics include assigning an array to a scalar variable; working with array references; 'Array()' function; copying arrays; Runtime error 'Type mismatch'.

Assigning an Array to a Scalar Variable

Array References Work Like Arrays

"Array()" Function - Returning a Scalar Reference of an Array

Creating a Copy of an Array

"Type mismatch" Runtime Error - Assignments to Array Variables

Conclusions:

• A scalar variable can be used to hold a reference to an array.
• Assigning an array to a scalar variable creates a copy of the array and a reference to the copy.
• An array reference works like an array.
• "Array()" function returns a reference of a new dynamic-size array.
• Runtime error 'Type mismatch' happens when you try to assign scalar values or arrays to array variables.
