-As in Pico, indexed tables represent what other languages call arrays or lists. Tables are unidimensional and their indexes range from 1 to the size of the table. As variables, one can define, assign and refer to a table. Table definition is also made  with the keyword **def** in the following form:+Indexed tables represent what other languages call arrays or lists.
