+# NAME
+
+cpsc-keyword-declare - declare variables and arrays
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+```text
+DECLARE name : type
+DECLARE name : ARRAY[lower:upper, ...] OF type
+```
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Declare one variable per statement. Built-in types are INTEGER (signed 64-bit),
+REAL, BOOLEAN, CHAR (one byte), and STRING. User-defined TYPE and CLASS names
+are also accepted. Variables start with zero, FALSE, an empty string, or a
+zero-initialized user-defined value.
+
+ARRAY bounds are inclusive and may be expressions; multiple ranges create
+multiple dimensions. Access elements with `name[index, ...]`. Bounds are
+checked at run time. Whole-array assignment is unsupported. Declare arrays
+before using them; arrays declared inside a control-flow block stay in that
+block.
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+```text
+DECLARE Count : INTEGER
+DECLARE Names : ARRAY[1:3] OF STRING
+Count <- 2
+Names[Count] <- "Alice"
+OUTPUT Names[Count]
+```
