Array

Array[f, n]
generates a list of length n, with elements f[i].

Array[f, {n₁, n₂, ...}]
generates an

array of nested lists, with elements f[i₁, i₂, ...].

Array[f, {n₁, n₂, ...}, {r₁, r₂, ...}]
generates a list using the index origins r_i (default 1).

Array[f, dims, origin, h]
uses head h, rather than List, for each level of the array.
