The elements of string arrays hold strings instead of . Each string can be a different length. For example DIM words$(50) creates a sequence of 51 independent string variables:
words$(0) = "Daniel likes cats." ' 18-character string
words$(1) = "" ' a null string
words$(2) = "Nicki is a sweet child." ' 23-character string
' assign more array values here
words$(50) = SPACE$(200) ' 200-character string
