In the same way that you can declare an implicitly-typed variable, letting the compiler figure out the type of the variable’s value, you can declare implicitly-typed arrays.
In the example below, we declare and initialize both implicitly-typed variables and implicitly-typed arrays. The compiler infers the type–shown in the associated comment.
