Hello team,
What are the differences between these two arrays?
array thisitem{*} $5 itemA itemB itemC
array array{3} itemA itemB itemC
Regards,
$5 means the elements of the array will be character with length 5. without putting $, it would be a numeric array.

Unless the elements of the array already exist in which case they will retain their existing type.
