Typically you would use something like:

my_array =  Array(Int,1)

This preallocates space for your array and gives it a type. (it's an array 
with only one entry)

The array isn't initialized at that point, the space is just allocated, 
that's why you see:

139838919411184

in your single entry array. 

If you wanted to initialize it, you could do:

my_array = zeros(Int,1)
