You will now learn about creating an array in the Bash shell.
If the array name is FRUIT, then we can create an array, as follows:
FRUIT[index]=value
Index is the integer value. It should be 0 or any positive integer value.
We can also create an array, as follows:
$ declare -a array_name$ declare -a arrayname=(value1 value2 value3)
This is an example:
$ declare -a fruit=('Mango' 'Banana' 'Apple' 'Orange' 'Papaya')$ declare -a array_name=(word1 word2 word3 ...)$ declare -a fruit=( Pears Apple Mango Banana Papaya )$ echo ${fruit[0]}Pears$ echo ${fruit[1]}Apple$ echo "All the fruits are ${fruit[*]}" All the fruits are Pears Apple Mango Banana Papaya$ echo "The number of elements in the array are ${#fruit[*]}" ...
