Array{Int64,1} is a type – it's the type of an array with 1 dimension (a
vector) whose elements are 64-bit signed integers. You can't push anything
onto a type because types aren't containers. If you want to construct an
uninitialized three value Int array, you can do this:
v = Array(Int, 3)
This will just have junk values gotten via malloc. If you want to
initialize an Int array with the values 10, 11 and 12 you can do this:
v = [10, 11, 12]
It will have element type Int because all the values you gave it are Ints.
