Accessing static array elements in Scala

Arrays are ordered, meaning each element has a numbered position known as its index. We access an array element by referring to its index number.

Arrays use zero-based indexing, so the first element in an array has an index of 0, the second element has an index of 1, etc.

We use the index in parentheses (()) after the name of the array to access the element:

val animals = Array("cat", "dog", "parrot")

println(animals(0)) // Output: cat
println(animals(1)) // Output: dog
println(animals(2)) // Output: parrot
