Array References Work Like Arrays

"Array()" Function - Returning a Scalar Reference of an Array

Creating a Copy of an Array

"Type mismatch" Runtime Error - Assignments to Array Variables

Takeaways:

A scalar variable can be used to hold a reference to an array.
Assigning an array to a scalar variable creates a copy of the array and a reference to the copy.
