How do I declare and update array elements in TSL?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I have two questions regarding arrays in TSL:

When declaring an array, should I write:

TYPESCRIPT
const arr = array(...);

TYPESCRIPT
const arr = array(...).toVar();

Once I have declared my array, how do I update an element? I assume we use array.elementAssign(), but I'm not sure how to use this method.
Thanks!

Arrays in TSL

1. Array Declaration

When declaring an array in TSL, you should use:

TYPESCRIPT
const arr = array(...).toVar();

The .toVar() method is necessary when you want to create a mutable array that you can update later. Without .toVar(), you're creating an immutable array value.

2. Updating Array Elements

To update an element in a mutable array, you use the elementAssign() method. Here's how to use it:

TYPESCRIPT
// Create a mutable array
const myArray = array(1, 2, 3, 4).toVar();

// Update the element at index 2 (the third element) to 99
myArray.elementAssign(2, 99);

// Now myArray contains [1, 2, 99, 4]

The elementAssign() method takes two parameters:

The index of the element you want to update
The new value you want to assign to that element

Remember that array indices are zero-based, so the first element is at index 0.
