## Anonymous Arrays

An anonymous array is a set of numeric values or a set of string values, separated by commas, and enclosed in braces {}. Anonymous array can be used to rapidly assign a group of values to an array. If the Anonymous array is longer than the dimensioned array then the array will be automatically re-dimensioned (Redim) to the correct length.
Anonymous Arrays can also be used in the Poly, Sound, and Stamp statements in place of an array variable.

### Example

    dim myarray(4)
    myarray = {1, 2, 3, 4}

    dim words$(1)
    words$ = {"how","now","brown","cow"}
    for n = 0 to words$[?]-1
     print words$[n]
    next n
