===== ARRAY  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     ARRAY var = ...
     ARRAY var := ...

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''ARRAY'' keyword allows you to copy a block of memory from a static definition
to an array at run time. In simple terms, it copies an array of bytes from the right
expression to a ''var''. It is especially useful when you want to initialize an 
array with a specific value or assign an entire array.

This method is generally faster than copying element by element,
 especially for large arrays. It provides a concise way to initialize an entire 
 array with a constant value.

If you want to initialize an array to a single byte, memset is more efficient.
For small arrays or when initializing elements with different values, direct 
assignment can be more readable.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    DIM var(4) AS BYTE
    ARRAY var = #{42424242}


==== ABBREVIATION ====
   Ar
