How do I label an array? The label can be anywhere on the right side. I can't find a \label in the array documentation.

    Can you explain what you mean by a "label"? Are you just interested in marking a specific row? Or are you truly talking about a \label so you can \reference it later? – Werner Oct 06 '20 at 23:57
  • I mean in the way you label an equation – Hao S Oct 07 '20 at 00:00
  • Is the array in question associated with a counter variable? – Mico Oct 07 '20 at 00:18

    How about \begin{equation} \left[\begin{array}{..} ... \end{array}\right] \end{equation}? – Werner Oct 07 '20 at 00:19

It is not clear, what you like to have. I guess, that you looking for something like this:

Using @Werner comment for staring point, the MWE for above array is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}  % for "eqref"

\begin{document}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:array}
    \begin{array}{ccc}
      1 & 2 & 3 \
      4 & 5 & 6 \
      7 & 8 & 9
    \end{array}
\end{equation}
See array \eqref{eq:array} ...
\end{document}

in the case, that your array present an matrix, then you could use bmatrix from the amsmath package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}  % for "bmatrix" and "eqref"

\begin{document}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:array}
    \begin{bmatrix}
      1 & 2 & 3 \
      4 & 5 & 6 \
      7 & 8 & 9
    \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
See array \eqref{eq:array} ...
\end{document}
