	<brief_description>
		A built-in data structure that holds a sequence of elements.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		An array data structure that can contain a sequence of elements of any [Variant] type. Elements are accessed by a numerical index starting at [code]0[/code]. Negative indices are used to count from the back ([code]-1[/code] is the last element, [code]-2[/code] is the second to last, etc.).
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var array = ["First", 2, 3, "Last"]
		print(array[0])  # Prints "First"
		print(array[2])  # Prints 3
		print(array[-1]) # Prints "Last"

		array[1] = "Second"
		print(array[1])  # Prints "Second"
		print(array[-3]) # Prints "Second"
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		var array = new Godot.Collections.Array{"First", 2, 3, "Last"};
		GD.Print(array[0]); // Prints "First"
		GD.Print(array[2]); // Prints 3
		GD.Print(array[array.Count - 1]); // Prints "Last"

		array[2] = "Second";
		GD.Print(array[1]); // Prints "Second"
		GD.Print(array[array.Count - 3]); // Prints "Second"
		[/csharp]
		[/codeblocks]
		[b]Note:[/b] Arrays are always passed by [b]reference[/b]. To get a copy of an array that can be modified independently of the original array, use [method duplicate].
		[b]Note:[/b] Erasing elements while iterating over arrays is [b]not[/b] supported and will result in unpredictable behavior.
		[b]Differences between packed arrays, typed arrays, and untyped arrays:[/b] Packed arrays are generally faster to iterate on and modify compared to a typed array of the same type (e.g. [PackedInt64Array] versus [code]Array[int][/code]). Also, packed arrays consume less memory. As a downside, packed arrays are less flexible as they don't offer as many convenience methods such as [method Array.map]. Typed arrays are in turn faster to iterate on and modify than untyped arrays.

		<constructor name="Array">
			<return type="Array" />
			<param index="0" name="base" type="Array" />
			<param index="1" name="type" type="int" />
			<param index="2" name="class_name" type="StringName" />
			<param index="3" name="script" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Creates a typed array from the [param base] array. A typed array can only contain elements of the given type, or that inherit from the given class, as described by this constructor's parameters:
				- [param type] is the built-in [Variant] type, as one the [enum Variant.Type] constants.
				- [param class_name] is the built-in class name (see [method Object.get_class]).
				- [param script] is the associated script. It must be a [Script] instance or [code]null[/code].
				If [param type] is not [constant TYPE_OBJECT], [param class_name] must be an empty [StringName] and [param script] must be [code]null[/code].
				[codeblock]
				class_name Sword
				extends Node

				class Stats:
				    pass

				func _ready():
				    var a = Array([], TYPE_INT, "", null)               # Array[int]
				    var b = Array([], TYPE_OBJECT, "Node", null)        # Array[Node]
				    var c = Array([], TYPE_OBJECT, "Node", Sword)       # Array[Sword]
				    var d = Array([], TYPE_OBJECT, "RefCounted", Stats) # Array[Stats]
				[/codeblock]
				The [param base] array's elements are converted when necessary. If this is not possible or [param base] is already typed, this constructor fails and returns an empty [Array].
				In GDScript, this constructor is usually not necessary, as it is possible to create a typed array through static typing:
				[codeblock]
				var numbers: Array[float] = []
				var children: Array[Node] = [$Node, $Sprite2D, $RigidBody3D]

				var integers: Array[int] = [0.2, 4.5, -2.0]
				print(integers) # Prints [0, 4, -2]

			<description>
				Returns the index of [param value] in the sorted array. If it cannot be found, returns where [param value] should be inserted to keep the array sorted (using [param func] for the comparisons). The algorithm used is [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm]binary search[/url].
				Similar to [method sort_custom], [param func] is called as many times as necessary, receiving one array element and [param value] as arguments. The function should return [code]true[/code] if the array element should be [i]behind[/i] [param value], otherwise it should return [code]false[/code].
				If [param before] is [code]true[/code] (as by default), the returned index comes before all existing elements equal to [param value] in the array.

		</method>
		<method name="clear">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Removes all elements from the array. This is equivalent to using [method resize] with a size of [code]0[/code].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="count" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="duplicate" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Array" />
			<param index="0" name="deep" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns a new copy of the array.
				By default, a [b]shallow[/b] copy is returned: all nested [Array] and [Dictionary] elements are shared with the original array. Modifying them in one array will also affect them in the other.[br]If [param deep] is [code]true[/code], a [b]deep[/b] copy is returned: all nested arrays and dictionaries are also duplicated (recursively).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="erase">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Finds and removes the first occurrence of [param value] from the array. If [param value] does not exist in the array, nothing happens. To remove an element by index, use [method remove_at] instead.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method shifts every element's index after the removed [param value] back, which may have a noticeable performance cost, especially on larger arrays.
				[b]Note:[/b] Erasing elements while iterating over arrays is [b]not[/b] supported and will result in unpredictable behavior.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="fill">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Assigns the given [param value] to all elements in the array.
				This method can often be combined with [method resize] to create an array with a given size and initialized elements:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var array = []
				array.resize(5)
				array.fill(2)
				print(array) # Prints [2, 2, 2, 2, 2]
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var array = new Godot.Collections.Array();
				array.Resize(5);
				array.Fill(2);
				GD.Print(array); // Prints [2, 2, 2, 2, 2]
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] If [param value] is a [Variant] passed by reference ([Object]-derived, [Array], [Dictionary], etc.), the array will be filled with references to the same [param value], which are not duplicates.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="filter" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Array" />
			<param index="0" name="method" type="Callable" />
			<description>
				Calls the given [Callable] on each element in the array and returns a new, filtered [Array].
				The [param method] receives one of the array elements as an argument, and should return [code]true[/code] to add the element to the filtered array, or [code]false[/code] to exclude it.
				[codeblock]
				func is_even(number):
				    return number % 2 == 0

				func _ready():
				    print([1, 4, 5, 8].filter(is_even)) # Prints [4, 8]

				    # Same as above, but using a lambda function.
				    print([1, 4, 5, 8].filter(func(number): return number % 2 == 0))

		<method name="find" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="what" type="Variant" />
			<param index="1" name="from" type="int" default="0" />
			<description>
				Returns the index of the [b]first[/b] occurrence of [param what] in this array, or [code]-1[/code] if there are none. The search's start can be specified with [param from], continuing to the end of the array.
				[b]Note:[/b] If you just want to know whether the array contains [param what], use [method has] ([code]Contains[/code] in C#). In GDScript, you may also use the [code]in[/code] operator.
				[b]Note:[/b] For performance reasons, the search is affected by [param what]'s [enum Variant.Type]. For example, [code]7[/code] ([int]) and [code]7.0[/code] ([float]) are not considered equal for this method.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="front" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Returns the first element of the array. If the array is empty, fails and returns [code]null[/code]. See also [method back].
				[b]Note:[/b] Unlike with the [code][][/code] operator ([code]array[0][/code]), an error is generated without stopping project execution.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_typed_builtin" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the built-in [Variant] type of the typed array as a [enum Variant.Type] constant. If the array is not typed, returns [constant TYPE_NIL]. See also [method is_typed].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_typed_class_name" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Returns the [b]built-in[/b] class name of the typed array, if the built-in [Variant] type [constant TYPE_OBJECT]. Otherwise, returns an empty [StringName]. See also [method is_typed] and [method Object.get_class].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_typed_script" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Returns the [Script] instance associated with this typed array, or [code]null[/code] if it does not exist. See also [method is_typed].

		<method name="has" qualifiers="const" keywords="includes, contains">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the array contains the given [param value].
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				print(["inside", 7].has("inside"))  # Prints true
				print(["inside", 7].has("outside")) # Prints false
				print(["inside", 7].has(7))         # Prints true
				print(["inside", 7].has("7"))       # Prints false
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var arr = new Godot.Collections.Array { "inside", 7 };
				// By C# convention, this method is renamed to `Contains`.
				GD.Print(arr.Contains("inside"));  // Prints true
				GD.Print(arr.Contains("outside")); // Prints false
				GD.Print(arr.Contains(7));         // Prints true
				GD.Print(arr.Contains("7"));       // Prints false
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				In GDScript, this is equivalent to the [code]in[/code] operator:
				[codeblock]
				if 4 in [2, 4, 6, 8]:
				    print("4 is here!") # Will be printed.
				[/codeblock]
				[b]Note:[/b] For performance reasons, the search is affected by the [param value]'s [enum Variant.Type]. For example, [code]7[/code] ([int]) and [code]7.0[/code] ([float]) are not considered equal for this method.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="hash" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns a hashed 32-bit integer value representing the array and its contents.
				[b]Note:[/b] Arrays with equal hash values are [i]not[/i] guaranteed to be the same, as a result of hash collisions. On the countrary, arrays with different hash values are guaranteed to be different.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="insert">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="position" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="value" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Inserts a new element ([param value]) at a given index ([param position]) in the array. [param position] should be between [code]0[/code] and the array's [method size].
				Returns [constant OK] on success, or one of the other [enum Error] constants if this method fails.
				[b]Note:[/b] Every element's index after [param position] needs to be shifted forward, which may have a noticeable performance cost, especially on larger arrays.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_empty" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the array is empty ([code][][/code]). See also [method size].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_read_only" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the array is read-only. See [method make_read_only].
				In GDScript, arrays are automatically read-only if declared with the [code]const[/code] keyword.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_same_typed" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="array" type="Array" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if this array is typed the same as the given [param array]. See also [method is_typed].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_typed" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the array is typed. Typed arrays can only contain elements of a specific type, as defined by the typed array constructor. The methods of a typed array are still expected to return a generic [Variant].
				In GDScript, it is possible to define a typed array with static typing:
				[codeblock]
				var numbers: Array[float] = [0.2, 4.2, -2.0]
				print(numbers.is_typed()) # Prints true
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="make_read_only">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Makes the array read-only. The array's elements cannot be overridden with different values, and their order cannot change. Does not apply to nested elements, such as dictionaries.
				In GDScript, arrays are automatically read-only if declared with the [code]const[/code] keyword.

				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] Like many similar functions in the engine (such as [method @GlobalScope.randi] or [method shuffle]), this method uses a common, global random seed. To get a predictable outcome from this method, see [method @GlobalScope.seed].

		<method name="pop_at">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<param index="0" name="position" type="int" />
			<description>
				Removes and returns the element of the array at index [param position]. If negative, [param position] is considered relative to the end of the array. Returns [code]null[/code] if the array is empty. If [param position] is out of bounds, an error message is also generated.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method shifts every element's index after [param position] back, which may have a noticeable performance cost, especially on larger arrays.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="pop_back">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Removes and returns the last element of the array. Returns [code]null[/code] if the array is empty, without generating an error. See also [method pop_front].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="pop_front">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Removes and returns the first element of the array. Returns [code]null[/code] if the array is empty, without generating an error. See also [method pop_back].
				[b]Note:[/b] This method shifts every other element's index back, which may have a noticeable performance cost, especially on larger arrays.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="push_back">

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="push_front">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="value" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Adds an element at the beginning of the array. See also [method push_back].
				[b]Note:[/b] This method shifts every other element's index forward, which may have a noticeable performance cost, especially on larger arrays.

		<method name="reduce" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<param index="0" name="method" type="Callable" />
			<param index="1" name="accum" type="Variant" default="null" />
			<description>
				Calls the given [Callable] for each element in array, accumulates the result in [param accum], then returns it.
				The [param method] takes two arguments: the current value of [param accum] and the current array element. If [param accum] is [code]null[/code] (as by default), the iteration will start from the second element, with the first one used as initial value of [param accum].
				[codeblock]
				func sum(accum, number):
				    return accum + number

				func _ready():
				    print([1, 2, 3].reduce(sum, 0))  # Prints 6
				    print([1, 2, 3].reduce(sum, 10)) # Prints 16

				    # Same as above, but using a lambda function.
				    print([1, 2, 3].reduce(func(accum, number): return accum + number, 10))
				[/codeblock]
				If [method max] is not desirable, this method may also be used to implement a custom comparator:
				[codeblock]
				func _ready():
				    var arr = [Vector2(5, 0), Vector2(3, 4), Vector2(1, 2)]

				    var longest_vec = arr.reduce(func(max, vec): return vec if is_length_greater(vec, max) else max)
				    print(longest_vec) # Prints Vector2(3, 4).

				func is_length_greater(a, b):
				    return a.length() &gt; b.length()

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="remove_at">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="position" type="int" />
			<description>
				Removes the element from the array at the given index ([param position]). If the index is out of bounds, this method fails.
				If you need to return the removed element, use [method pop_at]. To remove an element by value, use [method erase] instead.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method shifts every element's index after [param position] back, which may have a noticeable performance cost, especially on larger arrays.
				[b]Note:[/b] The [param position] cannot be negative. To remove an element relative to the end of the array, use [code]arr.remove_at(arr.size() - (i + 1))[/code]. To remove the last element from the array, use [code]arr.resize(arr.size() - 1)[/code].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="resize">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="size" type="int" />
			<description>
				Sets the array's number of elements to [param size]. If [param size] is smaller than the array's current size, the elements at the end are removed. If [param size] is greater, new default elements (usually [code]null[/code]) are added, depending on the array's type.
				Returns [constant OK] on success, or one of the other [enum Error] constants if this method fails.
				[b]Note:[/b] Calling this method once and assigning the new values is faster than calling [method append] for every new element.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="reverse">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Reverses the order of all elements in the array.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="rfind" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="what" type="Variant" />
			<param index="1" name="from" type="int" default="-1" />
			<description>
				Returns the index of the [b]last[/b] occurrence of [param what] in this array, or [code]-1[/code] if there are none. The search's start can be specified with [param from], continuing to the beginning of the array. This method is the reverse of [method find].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="shuffle">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Shuffles all elements of the array in a random order.
				[b]Note:[/b] Like many similar functions in the engine (such as [method @GlobalScope.randi] or [method pick_random]), this method uses a common, global random seed. To get a predictable outcome from this method, see [method @GlobalScope.seed].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="size" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the number of elements in the array. Empty arrays ([code][][/code]) always return [code]0[/code]. See also [method is_empty].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="slice" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Array" />
			<param index="0" name="begin" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="end" type="int" default="2147483647" />
			<param index="2" name="step" type="int" default="1" />
			<param index="3" name="deep" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns a new [Array] containing this array's elements, from index [param begin] (inclusive) to [param end] (exclusive), every [param step] elements.
				If either [param begin] or [param end] are negative, their value is relative to the end of the array.
				If [param step] is negative, this method iterates through the array in reverse, returning a slice ordered backwards. For this to work, [param begin] must be greater than [param end].
				If [param deep] is [code]true[/code], all nested [Array] and [Dictionary] elements in the slice are duplicated from the original, recursively. See also [method duplicate]).
				[codeblock]
				var letters = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"]

				print(letters.slice(0, 2))  # Prints ["A", "B"]
				print(letters.slice(2, -2)) # Prints ["C", "D"]
				print(letters.slice(-2, 6)) # Prints ["E", "F"]

				print(letters.slice(0, 6, 2))  # Prints ["A", "C", "E"]
				print(letters.slice(4, 1, -1)) # Prints ["E", "D", "C"]
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="sort">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Sorts the array in ascending order. The final order is dependent on the "less than" ([code]&lt;[/code]) comparison between elements.
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var numbers = [10, 5, 2.5, 8]
				numbers.sort()
				print(numbers) # Prints [2.5, 5, 8, 10]
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var numbers = new Godot.Collections.Array { 10, 5, 2.5, 8 };
				numbers.Sort();
				GD.Print(numbers); // Prints [2.5, 5, 8, 10]
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] The sorting algorithm used is not [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm#Stability]stable[/url]. This means that equivalent elements (such as [code]2[/code] and [code]2.0[/code]) may have their order changed when calling [method sort].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="sort_custom">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="func" type="Callable" />
			<description>
				Sorts the array using a custom [Callable].
				[param func] is called as many times as necessary, receiving two array elements as arguments. The function should return [code]true[/code] if the first element should be moved [i]behind[/i] the second one, otherwise it should return [code]false[/code].
				[codeblock]
				func sort_ascending(a, b):
				    if a[1] &lt; b[1]:
				        return true
				    return false

				func _ready():
				    var my_items = [["Tomato", 5], ["Apple", 9], ["Rice", 4]]
				    my_items.sort_custom(sort_ascending)
				    print(my_items) # Prints [["Rice", 4], ["Tomato", 5], ["Apple", 9]]

				    # Sort descending, using a lambda function.
				    my_items.sort_custom(func(a, b): return a[1] &gt; b[1])
				    print(my_items) # Prints [["Apple", 9], ["Tomato", 5], ["Rice", 4]]
				[/codeblock]
				It may also be necessary to use this method to sort strings by natural order, with [method String.naturalnocasecmp_to], as in the following example:
				[codeblock]
				var files = ["newfile1", "newfile2", "newfile10", "newfile11"]
				files.sort_custom(func(a, b): return a.naturalnocasecmp_to(b) &lt; 0)
				print(files) # Prints ["newfile1", "newfile2", "newfile10", "newfile11"]
				[/codeblock]
				[b]Note:[/b] In C#, this method is not supported.
				[b]Note:[/b] The sorting algorithm used is not [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm#Stability]stable[/url]. This means that values considered equal may have their order changed when calling this method.
				[b]Note:[/b] You should not randomize the return value of [param func], as the heapsort algorithm expects a consistent result. Randomizing the return value will result in unexpected behavior.

		<operator name="operator !=">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="right" type="Array" />

				Returns [code]true[/code] if the array's size or its elements are different than [param right]'s.
			</description>
		</operator>
		<operator name="operator +">
			<return type="Array" />
			<param index="0" name="right" type="Array" />
			<description>
				Appends the [param right] array to the left operand, creating a new [Array]. This is also known as an array concatenation.
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var array1 = ["One", 2]
				var array2 = [3, "Four"]
				print(array1 + array2) # Prints ["One", 2, 3, "Four"]
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				// Note that concatenation is not possible with C#'s native Array type.
				var array1 = new Godot.Collections.Array{"One", 2};
				var array2 = new Godot.Collections.Array{3, "Four"};
				GD.Print(array1 + array2); // Prints ["One", 2, 3, "Four"]
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] For existing arrays, [method append_array] is much more efficient than concatenation and assignment with the [code]+=[/code] operator.
