Array constructor

Provides a reference for array constructors in IBM ILOG Script.

The array constructor has two distinct forms.

Table 1. Array constructor
Syntax	Effect
new Array(length)	Returns a new array a of length `length` with its elements from `0` to `length-1` set to `null`. If `length` is not a number, and its conversion to a number yields NaN, the second syntax is used. Examples: new Array(12) –> an array a with length 12 and a[0] to a[11] containing null new Array("5") –> an array a with length 5 and a[0] to a[4] containing null new Array("foo") see second syntax
new Array(element1, ..., elementn)	Returns a new array a of length n with a`[0]` containing `element1`, `a[1]` containing `element2`, and so on. If no argument is given, that is n=0, an empty array is created. If n=1 and `element1` is a number or can be converted to a number, the first syntax is used. Examples: new Array(327, "hello world") –> an array a of length 2 with a[0] == 327 and a[1] == "hello world" new Array() –> an array with length 0 new Array("327") see first syntax
