this is not a dynamic array (that does not exist on Pharo).
check, if you do:

#(2 3 4) =�� {2. 3. 4} ==> true

and:

#(2 3 4) class =�� {2. 3. 4} class ==> true

in fact, the only difference between them is that the first is literal (it will be as is in the compiled code) and the second is a runtime array (it will be evaluated on execution).

Now, perhaps what you want is to transform an Array into a Collection that accepts additions (that would be a ���dynamic��� collection on Pharo)..

For that you can do:

a := #(2 3 4) asOrderedCollection.
a add: 5.

a ==> anOrderedCollection(2 3 4 5).

(note that you could want a Set��� or whatever��� but the most common transformation is an array into an OrderedCollection (because it preserves order, etc.)
