Arrays containing floating points
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Arrays containing floating points

| Thank you all for the help on understanding slices. I spent last evening just experimenting with that. Got a good grasp of it now. I cannot figure out how to create an auto array that contains floating point numbers. The end result needed: sa[.1,.2,.3,.4,.5,.6,.7,.8,.9,1.0] A simple 10 element array containing decimal point numbers. |

| a:float[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3] etc. or a#[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3] etc. |

| I have tried both of those methods. Here is the code copied directly from the IDE. sa:Float[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] sb#[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] I comment out sb# and use only sa:Float[] it nets this compile error Expecting expression but encountered '=' I comment out sa:Float and use only sb# it nets this compile error: Expecting expression but encountered '=' |

| Try Local or Global : For local array : Local sa:Float[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] Local sb#[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] For global array : Global sa:Float[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] Global sb#[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] |

| Local sa:Float[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] works fine. added Local to sb#[] and got this compile error: Expression of type 'Int' cannot be indexed Global sa:Float[] = [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0] works fine. added Global to sb#[] and got this compile error: Expression of type 'Int' cannot be indexed |

| What's the whole of the line that's causing the error? |

| Oops, that's the answer teamonkey. Local and Global works for sa[] and sb[] but when using sb[] I forgot to change the line that uses the elements. Thanks all, I think this assigning arrays is understood. Just have to remember to add Local or Global and make sure the variable names match throughout the code. |
