is it possible to create and array and populate values?

I’m just getting into unity and c# coming from a flash/AS3 background.

in AS3 it is possible to do the following

var _arr:Array = ["one","two","three"];
trace(_arr[2]);
//three

but i can seem to do this in c#?

string[] arr = string[3];
arr[0]= "one";
arr[1]= "two";
arr[2]= "three";
Debug.Log(arr[2]);
//three

it would be cool if there some syntax that was closer to the the AS3, so that i can pass it to a function without creating it adding the value and so forth!

as3 way just seems like a cleaner way…

//AS3
functionName([1,2,3,4,5]);

//C#
int[] arr = new int[5];
arr[0]= 1;
arr[1]= 2;
arr[2]= 3;
arr[3]= 4;
arr[4]= 5;
FunctionName(arr);

I hope this is possible!!! thanks in advance.
(im not limiting to arrays. Lists, object, dictionarys, or anything with similar syntax will suffice!)

You’d probably be better off using Unityscript since it’s very similar to AS3, in which case you can do

var arr = ["one", "two", "three"];

or

var arr : String[] = ["one", "two", "three"];

But in C# it’s

var arr = new string[3] {"one", "two", "three"};

or

string[] arr = {"one", "two", "three"};
