- Forth allows creating custom data types, making it easier to tailor solutions rather than conforming to standard arrays.
- Forth distinguishes between indexed and unindexed arrays, with indexed arrays being more common and versatile.
- Variable-like indexed arrays return an address, while other types can return contents or execute actions.
- Arrays in Forth can be defined with elements of fixed or variable length, accommodating different data needs.
- Subfields within array elements can be accessed using offsets, allowing for structured data manipulation.
- Bit arrays are also possible in Forth, enabling efficient storage and access of individual bits.
