391: Mainline

So far, for simplicity, the sample arrays contain Integer instances. You can just as easily create and use arrays of instances of other classes. The following, for example, contrasts the creation of an array of Integer instances with the creation of an array of Food instances:

Array with: 570 with: 720 with: 640 with: 720 

Array with: Vegetable new 
      with: Dairy new 
      with: Meat new 
      with: Grain new 

Neither array cares what you put into it, and you need not put instances of the same class at every location in the array. The second array has instances of four different classes in it.
