[SOLVED] How do I assign a list to the values of an associative array?

Issue

This is basically what I am trying to do: to assign a list to the value of an associative array.

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
declare -A params

params[n]=(200 400 600 800)
params[p]=(0.2 0.4)

But I got this error:

line 4: params[n]: cannot assign list to array member
line 5: params[p]: cannot assign list to array member

Is there any way to get around this problem ?

Solution

Try this:

declare -A params
params=([n]="200 400 600 800" [p]="0.2 0.4")
declare -p params

Output:

declare -A params='([n]="200 400 600 800" [p]="0.2 0.4" )'
