<para>Here, the <command><replaceable>array_name</replaceable></command> is any arbitrary name the array uses. The <command><replaceable>index_expression</replaceable></command> is used to refer to a specific unique key in the array. To illustrate, let us try to build an array named <command>foo</command> that specifies the ages of three people (i.e. the unique keys): <command>tom</command>, <command>dick</command>, and <command>harry</command>. To assign them the ages (i.e. associated values) of 23, 24, and 25 respectively, we'd use the following array statements:</para>
