This simple example:

I know about this way:
string[] a;
a = new string[11];
a[10] = "hello";
But what if i need do this many times with the same array like
this:
a[10] = "a";
...
a[1] = "b";
..
a[1000] = "c";
If i will call "a = new string[11]" all those many times, isn't
this will be inefficient ? Also it will clear all previous
contents of "a", which is not suitable.
Arrays are contiguous chunks of memory. If you wanted to store
"c" as the 1000th element in an array of strings, that array
needs to have room for 1000 elements.
Perhaps what you want is an associative array:
----
string[uint] aa;
aa[10] = "a";
aa[1] = "b";
aa[1000] = "c";
writeln(aa[10], aa[1], aa[1000]);
