    Default Re: How to add to an array with user input

    You can not change the size of an array by adding to it. You can change the contents of an array by assigning values to any of the slots in the array:
    theArray[theIndex] = aValueForTheArray; // assign a value to a slot in an array
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
