Arrays

There are three types of arrays:

• The run-time array is loaded by your program while it is running.
• The compile-time array is loaded when your program is created. The initial data becomes a permanent part of your program.
• The prerun-time array is loaded from an array file when your program begins running, before any input, calculation, or output operations are processed.

The essentials of defining and loading an array are described for a run-time array. For defining and loading compile-time and prerun-time arrays you use these essentials and some additional specifications.
