The following example shows the usage of the ':c' syntax to format an expression as characters. The array must be dereferenced by the '*' operator. If the * operator is not entered, the array will be displayed as a space pointer. If the dereferencing operator is used, but the ':c' is not appended to the expression, only the first array element is displayed. The default length of the display is 1.
