NetRexx also supports Java's fixed-size arrays. These are an ordered set of items, indexed by integers. To use an array, you first have to construct it; an individual item may then be selected by an index whose value must be in the range 0 through N-1, where N is the number of items in the array:
array=String[3] -- make an array of three Java Strings
array[0]='String one' -- set each array item
array[1]='Another string'
array[2]='foobar'
loop i=0 to 2 -- display them
say array[i]
end
This example also shows NetRexx line comments; the sequence '--' (outside of literal strings or '/*' comments) indicates that the remainder of the line is not part of the program and is commentary.
