MethodError: no method matching Array(::Type{Int64}, ::Int64) -- New Julia User

Hello, I am new here and new to Julia. I can’t figure out how to address this error; I’ve tried the suggestions in similar threads and have been unable to find a solution. Help is appreciated.


function(form_one)
    println("function was here")
end

function creator(x, y, path_input1, path_input2, formulation, path_to_output)

    ###### MethodError HERE ***************************
    w = Array(Int64, 0)

    c = Array(Int64, 0)

    d = Array(Int64, 0)

# more code follows

end

x=100
y=7
formulation = form_one
#paths defined

creator(x, y, path_input1, path_input2, formulation, path_to_output)

When I run this, I get the following error and stacktrace:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching Array(::Type{Int64}, ::Int64)

I’m very confused why I can’t get this to work – it seems simple but clearly I am missing something. I also tried this in Julia 1.4.2 running on Google Colab, no dice. Thanks for taking a look!

Instead of Array(Int, 0), use Array{Int}(undef, 0) or Int[]

By the way, this creates an anonymous function with a single argument called form_one instead of a function named form_one. To get a function named form_one, you need the syntax

function form_one()
    println("function was here")
end

instead.

Or Vector{Int}()

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it.

Array{Int}(undef, 0)

works well for me. Cheers.
