So I'm trying to insert an element into an empty array using the insert() function. I am doing this in order to create an array from scratch at runtime, however when I do this the array is created as (for example): {1, 2, 3, 4} and has a length of 3. I understand this is due to the fact that agk includes an extra element at the [length] index. This is confusing in that an array with 4 elements in it has shows a length of 3.
Now if I start with an array with a length of 1 there is an empty element at the start (for example): {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and shows a length of 4. Still confusing.
Is there a way in which I can insert() into and empty array and keep the correct length?

Thanks for your help

You can assign values to the elements manually.


To avoid confusing regard the .length command, do this when getting the length:
ar.length + 1

Array length:

Hi Faltor,

its so you have an element at Zero.
Array.length gives you the real length + 1.
The "+1" is the element at Zero, not at the [length] like you said.

Array: 1,2,3,4
Index: 0,1,2,3

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I get it now. I assumed you were supposed to leave the last element blank in order to have a "correct" length attribute. Instead you just plan for the extra element.
