Difference between these arrays

[GN0001]

Hello team,

What are the differences between these two arrays?

array thisitem{*} $5 itemA itemB itemC

array array{3} itemA itemB itemC

$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.
