NAME

allocate - allocate an array

SYNTAX

mixed *allocate(int size);

DESCRIPTION

Allocate an array of size elements and initialize them to zero.

EXAMPLES

mixed *a=allocate(17);

NOTA BENE

Arrays are dynamically allocated there is no need to declare them like int a[10]=allocate(10); (and it isn't possible either) like in C, just int *a=allocate(10); will do.

KEYWORDS
