Typically you would use something like:
my_array = Array(Int,1)
This preallocates space for your array and gives it a type. (it's an array
with only one entry)
The array isn't initialized at that point, the space is just allocated,
that's why you see:
139838919411184
in your single entry array.
If you wanted to initialize it, you could do:
my_array = zeros(Int,1)
