words

words(n) -> words

Allocates a raw buffer of n 32-bit words and returns a words value you can index with buffer[i] to read or write each word as an int. Use it when you want a flat, fixed-size numeric scratch array — a lookup table, a small ring buffer, or per-slot counters — without declaring a model. It is lower-level than a growable []int slice: the size is chosen up front and there is no push. For byte-granular storage use bytes instead.

Parameters

nthe number of 32-bit words to allocate

Example

program WordScratch {
  handler SumScores phase Start {
    let scores = words(3)
    scores[0] = 10
    scores[1] = 20
    scores[2] = 30
    var total: int = 0
    for index in 0 .. 3 {
      total = total + scores[index]
    }
    print(total)
  }
}
