Usually just a list of values that are put in the array in the order in which the array elements are stored in memory

Examples:
- FORTRAN--uses the DATA statement, or put the values in / ... / on the declaration

C and C++--put the values in braces; can let the compiler count them (int stuff [] = {2, 4, 6, 8};)

Ada--positions for the values can be specified:

    SCORE : array (1..14, 1..2) :=
        (1 => (24, 10), 2 => (10, 7), 
         3 =>(12, 30), others => (0, 0));
