Array with user-defined number of dimensions

General Usage
1

Hi folks,
just a quick (and probably stupid) question. I need to define an array whose unmber of dimensions is given by the user. The user should provide an inpt integer n and, depending on its value the array must change. For exemple:
if n=1 res = zeros(100)
if n=2 res = zeros(100,100)
if n=3 res = zeros(100,100,100)
etc

Is there any simple way to do that (and then to Access the array elements) other tan using the if’s?
Best regards and thanks,
Ferran.

This works:

julia> f(n::Int, ::Val{N}) where N = zeros(ntuple(i->n, Val(N))...);

julia> f(2, Val(1))
2-element Array{Float64,1}:
 0.0
 0.0

julia> f(2, Val(2))
2×2 Array{Float64,2}:
 0.0  0.0
 0.0  0.0

julia> f(2, Val(3))
2×2×2 Array{Float64,3}:
[:, :, 1] =
 0.0  0.0
 0.0  0.0

[:, :, 2] =
 0.0  0.0
 0.0  0.0

julia> @code_warntype f(2, Val(2))
Body::Array{Float64,2}
1 1 ─ %1 = $(Expr(:foreigncall, :(:jl_alloc_array_2d), Array{Float64,2}, svec(Any, Int64, Int64), :(:ccall), 3, Array{Float64,2}, :(n), :(n), :(n), :(n)))::Array{Float64,2}
  │   %2 = invoke Base.fill!(%1::Array{Float64,2}, 0.0::Float64)::Array{Float64,2}                                     ││┃│    zeros
  └──      return %2
