Generic function which takes an array

Hi guys,

I am new to unix shell scritpting.
My situation is L I am writing a generic function that takes array and displays them as they are present in the array with some numbers in the beginning.

Can you please help me with this.Below is the code I have but it isn't working.

Code:

set -A array_name a b c d e f
generic_display ( )
{
        for i in ${$1[i]};do
                print i
        done
}
generic_display array_name

Is the above code correct ?
