Compiler fail or my fail?

| I've got a line of code: If in(count[k],s.n) Then fut[xx,yy]=Byte(s.r) in() is a parsing function to see if count[] fits a condition - for example, count[] might be 5, and s.n might be "5|7". It would return 1, because of how the parsing works (the condition is "5 or 7", of couse) fut[,] is what my array representing the field is going to be. I have another array, grid[,] that represents it as it is now. Byte(s.r) is what fut[xx,yy] needs to become if that condition is met. Here's where things get really freaky. I can put a fut[xx,yy]=grid[xx,yy] before this line of code, and it's always true. This isn't a bad thing - I'm copying the data from grid to fut just before this. I can but the same fut[xx,yy]=grid[xx,yy] directly after the line of code and it's still always true. Not what I want, but it would just mean the condition isn't being met or fut[xx,yy] is being assigned to a value it is already, right? Wrong. First off, there is no circumstance in which fut[xx,yy] would be equivalent to Byte(s.r) before this statement. More remarkably, when I change the code to this: Local p%=fut[xx,yy] If in(count[k],s.n) Then fut[xx,yy]=Byte(s.r) If p<>fut[xx,yy] Print "!?" It prints "!?" many times - in fact - more times than the condition can possibly be met. What the HECK is going on here? |

| Problem solved: fut[,]=grid[x,y] makes it so when you set fut[4,4] to 1, for example, it does the same operation to grid[4,4]. |
