Hi all, Near the top of the variables and scoping chapter of the documentation, there's a list which is kicked off by, These constructs which introduce new variables into the current scope are as follows:). How could this be worded to express things the other way round --- that is, When

Hi, I see that I can define my own type, and create instances of it like so: ~~~ type MyType{T} x::T end a = MyType{Int64}(3) ~~~ I tried to do similarly to create an array, but it fails... my first guess was that this might work: b = Array{Int64}(10, 11, 12) # trying to get [10,

I see that I can do: b = Array{Int64, 1} #= Array{Int64,1} but why can't I push anything to that?: push!(b, 10) # ERROR: `push!` has no method matching push!(::Type{Array{Int64,1}}, ::Int64) Hm. Can't push anything to this either though: ~~~ c = [] #= 0-element Array{None,1}

Hi, I see that in Julia there are row vectors and column vectors. Is vector just another name for column vector, which is an nx1 array? Is a row vector just a 1xn array? And a matrix just an n x m array? In the https://github.com/johnmyleswhite/CSVReaders.jl readme, I see Dict{Vector} and
