8.1.3 Assigning Array Elements
------------------------------

Array elements can be assigned values just like 'awk' variables:

     ARRAY[INDEX-EXPRESSION] = VALUE

ARRAY is the name of an array.  The expression INDEX-EXPRESSION is the
index of the element of the array that is assigned a value.  The
expression VALUE is the value to assign to that element of the array.
