Can someone explain to me how to use arrays!?

I'm very confused on how to go about using arrays, or what's the best situation to use them in. I know that there important and they help with map making. When you want something to randomely change I hear there also good for that, but I have no idea how to implement these things. So I was wondering if someone could point me to a how to tutorial or give me a example of arrays in use. Or show me how it's done because i'm confused when it comes to arrays :\

Thanks,
Sincerely,

There is a tutorial on my site (check sig) that explains variables and arrays and it has pictures and an exaple trigger for the use of arrays.

an integer array for example, has serveral of the same name with an number behind it

normal integer:

- thenumber

array integer

- thenumber[1]
- thenumber[2]
- thenumber[3]
- thenumber[4]
- thenumber[5]
- thenumber[6]
...
...
- thenumber[24892528]
...
...

it can be used for player grouping (player 1 to group[1], player 6 to group[6], ect).


or for player dialogs: array dialog (player 2 dialog to dialog[2])

edit: its for grouping several values in 1 integer/string/something else

be wary afaik no floating numbers (1,5 - 612,1 - 2,20371) can be used.
