Array representation in scheme

Question

I am a newbie to the realm of functional programming and have just started learning Scheme (though it is a semi-functional programming language). I did some tutorials on lists which is well supported in Scheme. I was wondering whether Scheme has support for fiddling with arrays ?

Or do I need to define my own data type ? Lists are an inductively defined data types. If I'm to define arrays as a new data type then can it be defined inductively ?

Please help. Thanks in advance.

cheers

You're looking for vector.

(define arr (vector 1 2 3))
(define arr '#(1 2 3))
