title: How do I assign a list to the values of an associative array?
body: <p>This is basically what I am trying to do: to assign a list to the value of an associative array. </p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/local/bin/bash
  declare -A params
  
  params[n]=(200 400 600 800)
  params[p]=(0.2 0.4)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I got this error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>line 4: params[n]: cannot assign list to array member
  line 5: params[p]: cannot assign list to array member
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get around this problem ? </p>
