array within an array

| can someone show me how put an array in an array, 1.creation of the arrays 2.filling the arrays 3.accessing the arrays and also a type within a type. Id like to have an array of 3 tanks with an array of 4 gun turrets each |

| I don't know if this will answer your question: you can have multidimensional arrays. eg: dim x(3,4) will give you 3*4 turrets, you can then access it like this: x(tank,1)=100 note: you can also use Zero as index, so dim x(3,4) will actually give you 4*5 array indexes (0 to 3 * 0 to 4). To acces the fields of a chessboard you would do something like: dim chess(7,7) for y=0 to 7 for x=0 to 7 chess(x,y)=rand(whatever) next next For types it's better some types experts will answer this. |

Type tank ;other fields Field gun.gun[4] ;created here End Type Type gun ;other fields Field power ;good dun parameter. wither this or gun type End Type Global tankarray.tank[3] For a=1 To 3 tankarray[a]=createtank.tank() Next Print gunpower(tankarray[1],1) Function createtank.tank() t.tank=New tank For a=1 To 4 t\gun.gun[a]=New gun ;creation t\gun.gun[a]\power=Rand(1,5) ;modification Next Return t.tank End Function Function gunpower(t.tank,index) Return t\gun[index]\power ;access End Function |

| The way i think of arrays, is the first dimention is the object (comparing to types). The next dimention is the properties. Works great and saves me from using types. I like types but i think arrays are easier to access, in regards selecting a particular 'object'. Sorry if it Off Topic, but i just thought id say that :) |

| I dont understand your code B.B. so Ill try multidimensional arrays. |
| ||
| Finally, one who use arrays like I do. If people learned about the usefullness of arrays from the start, then the world would be a better place (and a lot of dumb questions would be spared) |

| Using types, and then comparing types to arrays can be better than just using either :) |
