Use this number to resize the array to the number of elements desired, not the desired index of the final element.
resize cannot be used to create a new array.
Description
Changes the size of the given array. The command does not return new array, it resizes the source array to the desired number of elements. If the new size is bigger than the current size, the new places are filled with nil. The alternative syntax allows to fill resized positions with a given value. Array and HashMap values are copied.
