In Python 3.10, you can use the "walrus" operator := to change all elements of an array. Here's an example:

# Initialize the array
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Change all elements of the array
(numbers := [x * 2 for x in numbers])

# Print the updated array
print(numbers)

Output:

[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

In this example, we first initialize an array called numbers with some values. We then use a list comprehension to double each element in the array, and assign the new list to numbers using the walrus operator :=. Finally, we print out the updated numbers list.

Another way to accomplish the same result without using the walrus operator is to simply re-assign the new list to the variable holding the old list:

# Initialize the array
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Change all elements of the array
numbers = [x * 2 for x in numbers]

# Print the updated array
print(numbers)

Output:

[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

This achieves the same result but without using the walrus operator.
