It's a good thing that you asked me because this is what I'm best at. Rev
knows it's a string because of the text is within quotes.
So you could do this:
put "bob caught a fish" into bobStory
you could even shorten bobStory to bS
So your example is correct:
>put "Sunday" into dayOfWeek[1]
Look at this:
put "Sunday" into dayOfWeek[1]
put "Tuesday" into dayOfWeek[3]
put "Thursday" into dayOfWeek[5]
Notice that dayOfWeek[2] & dayOfWeek[4] are empty. 1, 3, and 5 are keys to
the array dayOfWee. Look in the docs for "Keys."
