Declaring Arrays
Array bounds are specified in brackets [], with two intermediate periods (..). The array

bounds can be any integer value, including negative values. For most applications, the

lower bound is zero. The maximum length of an array in a user function is 32 elements.
Parentheses can be used a repetition factor when assigning an initial value. The value

preceding the parentheses specifies the number of repetitions. For example, [4(0)] is

equivalent to [0,0,0,0], and [1,3(99),1] is equivalent to [1,99,99,99,1].
Example
This declaration creates an output array of length 5, with initial values of [-1,1,0,0,0].
