In Gambas 3, each data type has an array equivalent. For example, Integer[] stands for a one-dimensional array whose elements are integer numbers, String[][][], for a multidimensional array of string arrays, Collection[] for an array of collections and so on.

An array is called

• native if its elements have a native data type: Boolean, Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Single, Float, Date, String, Object, Pointer or Variant.

• derived if its elements are objects of a class.
