The following script is followed by its corresponding output (note the set
-A is redundant, and its not quite as convenient as in csh, where 'arr=
(one two three) sets $arr[1], $arr[2], and $arr[3] in one fell swoop):

set -x
arr="one two three"
echo $arr
echo ${arr[0]}
echo ${arr[1]}
arr[1]="four five six"
echo ${arr[1]}
echo ${arr[0]}
echo ${arr[*]}
echo ${#arr[*]}

+ arr=one two three
+ echo one two three
one two three
+ echo one two three
one two three
+ echo

+ arr[1]=four five six
+ echo four five six
four five six
+ echo one two three
one two three
+ echo one two three four five six
one two three four five six
+ echo 2
2
