Dave Gauer 361630fdce Improve wording in 005 arrays2 for #93
Hopefully less misleading now - explicit about comptime
operators.

//
// Zig has some fun array operators.
//
// You can use '++' to concatenate two arrays:
//
// const a = [_]u8{ 1,2 };
// const b = [_]u8{ 3,4 };
// const c = a ++ b ++ [_]u8{ 5 }; // equals 1 2 3 4 5
//
// You can use '**' to repeat an array:
//
// const d = [_]u8{ 1,2,3 } ** 2; // equals 1 2 3 1 2 3
//
// Note that both '++' and '**' only operate on arrays while your
// program is _being compiled_. This special time is known in Zig
// parlance as "comptime" and we'll learn plenty more about that
// later.
//
const std = @import("std");
pub fn main() void {
const le = [_]u8{ 1, 3 };
const et = [_]u8{ 3, 7 };
// (Problem 1)
// Please set this array concatenating the two arrays above.
// It should result in: 1 3 3 7
const leet = ???;
// (Problem 2)
// Please set this array using repetition.
// It should result in: 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1
const bit_pattern = [_]u8{ ??? } ** 3;
// Okay, that's all of the problems. Let's see the results.
//
// We could print these arrays with leet[0], leet[1],...but let's
// have a little preview of Zig 'for' loops instead:
//
// for (<item array>) |item| { <do something with item> }
//
// Don't worry, we'll cover looping properly in upcoming
// lessons.
