my array has a length of zero even though length is set to 20 and I update segment pose in the start function.

public class Tentacle : MonoBehaviour
{
   public int length = 20;
   public LineRenderer lineRend;
   public Vector3[] segmentPose;
   public Transform targetDir;
   public float targetDist;
   private Vector3[] segment5;
   public float smoothSpeed;


   private void start()
   {
       lineRend.positionCount = length;
       segmentPose = new Vector3[length];
       segment5 = new Vector3[length];
   }

    // Update is called once per frame
    private void Update()
    {
        Debug.Log(segmentPose.Length);
        segmentPose[0] = targetDir.position;
        for (int i = 1; i < segmentPose.Length; i++)
        {
            segmentPose <em>= Vector3.SmoothDamp(segmentPose_, segmentPose[i-1] + targetDir.right * targetDist, ref segment5*, smoothSpeed);*_</em>

}
lineRend.SetPositions(segmentPose);

}
}
debug says it still has 0 length ,My array length is stuck at zero and wont change, what am I doing wrong
my length int is set 20
segmentPose = new Vector3[length];
this code is in my start function

the code is fine, change from

     public Vector3[] segmentPose;

to

    private Vector3[] segmentPose;

to know hwere you are changing segmentPose. if no errors appear when you change from private it should work fine, maybe somewhere else you are overriding its value
