Hi everybody, 

 

Could somebody just explain me why commands L[1..5] and L[3..6] below do not seem to return "the same type of thing" ?

 

> 

L := Array(1..10, [$(1..10)]);

L := Array(1..10, {(1) = 1, (2) = 2, (3) = 3, (4) = 4, (5) = 5, (6) = 6, (7) = 7, (8) = 8, (9) = 9, (10) = 10})

 (1)
> 

L[1..5];
whattype(%);

Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

  

Array

 (2)
> 

L[3..6];
whattype(%);

Array(3 .. 6, {3 = 3, 4 = 4, 5 = 5, 6 = 6}, datatype = anything, storage = rectangular, order = Fortran_order)

  

Array
