<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Arrays are created using the standard BASIC '<b>Dim</b>' statement, and may
|
|
be of any number of dimensions. For example: </p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><i>Dim arr(10)</i></p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p> Creates a one dimensional array called 'arr' with 11 elements numbered 0...10.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> Arrays may be of any basic type, or a custom type.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The type of an array is specified using a type tag. For example: </p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p> <i>Dim Deltas#(100)</i></p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p> Creates an array called 'Deltas' of 101 floating point elements. </p>
|
|
<p>If the type tag is omitted, the array defaults to an integer array. </p>
|
|
<p>An array may be dimensioned at more than one point in a program, each time
|
|
an array is dimensioned, it's previous contents are discarded. Arrays may
|
|
be dimensioned inside functions, but a corresponding 'Dim' statement of the
|
|
same array must also appear somewhere in the main program. For example:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p> <i> Dim test(0,0) </i></p>
|
|
<p><i> Function Setup( x,y ) </i></p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><i>Dim test(x,y) </i></p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p><i> End Function</i> </p>
|
|
