Arrays

An array is a data structure (and the corresponding type) that represents an ordered collection of elements. More specifically, in Julia, an array is a collection of objects stored in a multi-dimensional grid.

Arrays can have any number of dimensions and are defined by their type and number of dimensions—Array{Type, Dimensions}.

A one-dimensional array, also called a vector, can be easily defined using the array literal notation, the square brackets [...]:

julia> [1, 2, 3]  
3-element Array{Int64,1}: 
 1 
 2 
 3 
 

You can also constrain the type of the elements:

julia> Float32[1, 2, 3, 4] 
4-element Array{Float32,1}: 
 1.0 
 2.0 
 3.0 
 4.0 
 

A two D array (also called a matrix) can be initialized using the same array literal notation, but this time without the commas:

julia> [1 2 3 4] 
1×4 Array{Int64,2}: 
 1  2  3  4
