Unlike lists, arrays are a collection of items with fixed length, which is determined when they're initialized. So they're useful when we need to store a specific number of items that will not change. Arrays also provide a minor performance benefit. However, this is negligible in the scripts that we're building. So while we won't be creating them so much, we will be using them within the Rhino API. So let's have a look at the basics of using them. Go ahead and place a new C# component and open it up. To create an array we start with the object type. Let's create an array of integers. We then need to add open and close square brackets. This now defines the type as an array of integers and that's all that it can store. We then need to name it. Let's use my array.…
