Hi Ty, OK. I thought that I saw somewhere that you could, for example, make an array, then write a loop for an index that checks for array_name.length, as if length was a member of array_name. But I'm still trying to get a grip on this, so I probably should check again. Thanks.

It is just a collection of elements. There may be functions to operate on arrays, but it's not a class.
