lol - There’s something to be said for that. Thinking of “simple" bridges that can be built toward a possible larger discussion around naming and defining things and not adding more to the SL related to arrays until then while getting the capability…cause that part of the SL is pretty large. :) New term: list Compared to known terms: indexed and associative Compared to neither of those really describing the conceptual differences between: - int-only keys ordered and starting at 0, - int-only keys ordered and *not* starting at 0, - int-only keys unordered, - string-only keys, and - int-or-string keys. And the automatic casting of strings to ints. Cheers, Josh
