"new" initializes a new variable.
The name you choose is your choice and has nothing to do with the variable except for when you use it.
The name simply lets you access it and it should describe what the variable is for so it isn't confusing.
You can create cells and arrays of cells.
Code:
new variable;
// created a variable called "variable"
new variable2[10];
// created an array called "variable2" with 10 slots
// the slots can be accessed by using 0 to (slots - 1).
// Example: this variable's slots will be accessed with 0 to 9.
variable[10] = 1;
// this will cause an "index out of bounds" error because this is the 11th slot which does not exist.
