Hello, I wanted to know what program closely reassembles Blitz Basic? I assumed it was Blitz Plus.When I did a search in the manuel I couldn't find anything on arrays. thanks |

Yes, you can either use BlitzPlus or Blitz3D. As for arrays, just use Dim http://www.blitzbasic.com/bpdocs/command.php?name=dim&ref=goto |

rg70 ... rg88 Level up ? GG :) what program closely reassembles Blitz Basic? weird question I couldn't find anything on arrays. Dim are not the standard "arrays", it's a structur that can be resized (with loss of the data) but must be declared like a <<Global>> variable (so, it's only for some restricted usage) What looks more like conventionnal arrays is the << variable_name%[Size] >> syntax (the "%" is not mandatory and by the way can be replaced by the required type [% # $] or a type (from "Type" instance)) They are static arrays so the restriction is the size MUST be a constant, but they can be created on the fly. Also, they can be passed as function arguments or be in a field of a type. Function PrintFloatArray(array#[10]) For i = 0 To 9 Print array[i] Next End Function Function PrintIntArray(array%[4]) For i = 0 To 3 Print array[i] Next End Function ; a local array of float Local a#[10] For i = 0 To 9 a[i] = Float(i)*1.7 Next ; print its content using the function above PrintFloatArray(a) ; using array in types Type MyType Field value%[4] End Type Local t.MyType = New MyType t\value[0] = 5 t\value[1] = 12 t\value[2] = 3 t\value[3] = 7 ; print the content of the value array of "t" PrintIntArray(t\value) they can also be declared as "Global" ... And not to mention, they are severely faster than Dim structur |
