When I declare an empty array and call typeof(), I get the following output: numbers = [] println(typeof(numbers)) # Output: Array{Any,1} What does the 1 mean in this case? Does it mean it’s a one dimensional array? Does the documentation present a clear way to declare an array?

Yes, or you can even leave off the 1 since it is implicit from the size: julia> numbers = Array{Int,1}(undef, 0) Int64[] julia> numbers = Array{Int}(undef, 0) Int64[]

When I declare an empty array, what does the output given by the typeof method mean?

You can also use the alias Vector:

numbers = Vector{Int}()
