This code works in Julia 0.6, but not the latest Julia 0.7. Is there any alternative ways to do this?

```julia
seg = zeros(UInt32,(100,100,100))       
seg[48:52,48:52, 1:end] = one(UInt32)  

```

I got errors as follows:

```julia

Julia 0.7 should give you a deprecation message with the replacement:

```julia
julia> seg[48:52,48:52, 1:end] = one(UInt32)
┌ Warning: using `A[I...] = x` to implicitly broadcast `x` across many locations is deprecated. Use `A[I...] .= x` instead.
│ caller = top-level scope at none:0
└ @ Core none:0

thanks for the quick reply. It turns out that I was using Julia 1.0 rather than 0.7!

Just a friendly reminder for other people who come across issues like this in the future: [PSA: use Julia 0.7 if you are upgrading](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-use-julia-0-7-if-you-are-upgrading/13321)
