Multi- Dimensional Arrays?

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/Multi- Dimensional Arrays?

I am new to BlitzPlus, and I am having a hard time trying to do something that I have done in other languages easily!

I want to create Multi-Dimension Array.
If I understand correctly Blitzplus does not support these :(

In other languages I have created the line :-
Dim array (3,1000) to set up the array.

Then I need to store a lot of xcentre and ycentre co-ordinates of a Circle, and also the radius.
So I could store these numbers in the Array like :-

array(1,1) =xcentre
array(2,1) =ycentre
array(3,1) =radius

Then the next circle I would store like :-
array(1,2) =xcentre
array(2,2) =ycentre
array(3,2) =radius
etc etc

It is very easy to recall any circle properties by accessing the array at a certain number.

I understand that you can use Types for this purpose, but I am at a loss as to how they work???
I have looked at lots of examples on the forum, but I get more confused!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

Blitz does support them. They work the same way as the arrays above.

Thanks Joseph
I did read somewhere that they did'nt work, but I must have got confused with another program.....Blitzmax???
I think the problem was that I was not specifying what the array was storing Integer, Long, String etc.
I have just changed it, and it worked!

Thanks
