    But below you were running sh, and not bash... if you do sh array.sh,
    it will not reinterpet the #!/bin/bash line, and re-exec it with the
    program in part because /bin/bash doesn't exist on the system, as bash
    is installed in /usr/local/bin/bash...

    Please try with:
    bash array.sh
    instead, and see if that works..
