// Here we create an array 'a' that will hold exactly 5 integers.
// By default, an array is zero-valued in Scilab.
a = zeros(1, 5);
disp("emp:", a);

// We can set a value at an index using the array(index) = value syntax,
// and get a value with array(index).
a(5) = 100;
disp("set:", a);
disp("get:", a(5));

// The length function returns the length of an array.
disp("len:", length(a));

// Use this syntax to declare and initialize an array in one line.
b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
disp("dcl:", b);

// In Scilab, you can't use the ... syntax like in Go to let the compiler
// count the elements. You need to specify the elements explicitly.

// If you want to create an array with specific values at certain indices,
// you can do it like this:
c = [100, 0, 0, 400, 500];
disp("idx:", c);

// Array types in Scilab can be multi-dimensional by default.
// Here's how to create a 2x3 array:
twoD = zeros(2, 3);
for i = 1:2
    for j = 1:3
        twoD(i, j) = i + j - 2;
    end
end
disp("2d: ", twoD);

// You can create and initialize multi-dimensional arrays at once too.
twoD = [1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 3];
disp("2d: ", twoD);
