Activity – Printing the first element of the array

An array is a list of items that are text, numbers, booleans, or strings. Arrays
have a length which is the number of items they contain. Items in an array can
be identified by knowing their positions.

Arrays are flexible, they can grow and shrink in size. We can add, remove as
well as edit items at any place in the array.

In Blocks, Arrayscan be found under the Advanced section.
