The editor I use makes it hard to make that mistake.  When I hit tab it
adds spaces to the current indentation level as determined by the
syntax, and it re-adjusts again when it sees the end of the statement.

some trivialities.

Ah.  Then I suspect you are doing it wrong.  Using an array in a
pointless way is unlikely to be what the exercise wants.
