Array Size Function Returns the number of elements in the input array. Each output element describing a dimension size.

Array Size Function Returns the number of elements in the input array. Each output element describing a dimension size.

Initialize ArrayCreates an n-dimensional array with elements containing a specified value. All elements are the same value.

Initialize ArrayCreates an n-dimensional array with elements containing a specified value. All elements are the same value.

Build Array Assembles multiple arrays or adds scalar elements to an array.

Build Array Assembles multiple arrays or adds scalar elements to an array.

Array Subset > Returns a portion of an array > Starts at Index > Contains “length” elements.

Array Subset > Returns a portion of an array > Starts at Index > Contains “length” elements.

Index Array Gives access to an element or sub-array in an array.

Index Array Gives access to an element or sub-array in an array.

Polymorphism > Arithmetic functions accept inputs of different dimensions > Outputs will be size of smaller array
