<p><i>result-type</i>&mdash;a <b>sequence</b> <i>type specifier</i>.
</p>
<p><i>size</i>&mdash;a non-negative <i>integer</i>.
</p>
<p><i>initial-element</i>&mdash;an <i>object</i>.
 The default is <i>implementation-dependent</i>.
</p>
<p><i>sequence</i>&mdash;a <i>proper sequence</i>.
</p>
<span id="Description_003a_003a-472"></span><h4 class="subsubheading">Description::</h4>

<p>Returns a <i>sequence</i> of the type <i>result-type</i> and of length <i>size</i>,
each of the <i>elements</i> of which has been initialized to <i>initial-element</i>.
</p>
<p>If the <i>result-type</i> is a <i>subtype</i> of <b>list</b>,
the result will be a <i>list</i>.
</p>
<p>If the <i>result-type</i> is a <i>subtype</i> of <b>vector</b>,
then if the implementation can determine the element type specified
for the <i>result-type</i>, the element type of the resulting array 
is the result of <i>upgrading</i> that element type; or, if the
implementation can determine that the element type is unspecified (or <tt>*</tt>),
the element type of the resulting array is <b>t</b>;
otherwise, an error is signaled.

<p>The consequences are unspecified if <i>initial-element</i>

<p>An error of <i>type</i> <b>type-error</b> must be signaled if the <i>result-type</i> is neither

</p>
<p>An error of <i>type</i> <b>type-error</b> should be signaled if <i>result-type</i> specifies 
the number of elements and <i>size</i> is different from that number.
