SYNOPSIS mixed *allocate(int size) DESCRIPTION Allocate an array of size elements. The number of elements must be >= 0 and not bigger than a system maximum (usually 1000). Note that this function is hardly needed anymore, because arrays can be added by the + operator, and can be constructed and initiliazed by the ({ }) operator. The function's only use to construct big empty arrays. EXAMPLE string *buffer; buffer = allocate(50); SEE ALSO sizeof(E)
