# array

A representation of the ordered set as an array.

## Declaration

```swift
var array: [Any] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This returns a proxy object for the receiving ordered set, which acts like an immutable array. While you cannot mutate the ordered set through this proxy, mutations to the original ordered set will be reflected in the proxy and it will appear to change spontaneously, because a copy of the ordered set is not being made.
