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

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.

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