\usage{
chunked_array(..., type = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{R objects to coerce into a ChunkedArray. They must be of the same type.}

\item{type}{An optional \link[=data-type]{data type}. If omitted, the type will be inferred from the data.}
}

Create a Chunked Array

\examples{
# Pass items into chunked_array as separate objects to create chunks
class_scores <- chunked_array(c(87, 88, 89), c(94, 93, 92), c(71, 72, 73))

# If you pass a list into chunked_array, you get a list of length 1
list_scores <- chunked_array(list(c(9.9, 9.6, 9.5), c(8.2, 8.3, 8.4), c(10.0, 9.9, 9.8)))

# When constructing a ChunkedArray, the first chunk is used to infer type.
infer_type(chunked_array(c(1, 2, 3), c(5L, 6L, 7L)))

# Concatenating chunked arrays returns a new chunked array containing all chunks
a <- chunked_array(c(1, 2), 3)
b <- chunked_array(c(4, 5), 6)
c(a, b)
