title: Array
---

Utilities for working with arrays.
Utilities for working with arrays. Array is a lower level implementation than [List](./list); prefer working with List. You can use [toList](#toList) and [fromList](#fromList) to easily convert an Array to/from a List.

You can create an Array using Array literal syntax:

```grain
let array = [> 1, 2, 3]
```

Note the `>`! If you omit this, Grain will create a List.
