multidimensional arrays in scripts?

[woodslanding]

this syntax is from pascal forums:

var x: array [1..5, 1..9] of integer;

but usine complains about the comma.

Can we use multi-dimensional arrays? If so how?

And more broadly, what variant of pascal does usine actually employ??

THANKS!

Hi Eric,

We don't have multidimensional arrays in Usine. We talked many times about that, but never went through.
Actually, there's a solution if you really need it. A comma-text can be think as a multidimensional array, but you have to manipulation either string and data. There's an example in the French section of the forum, viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7318

another soluce is to use "old style" pascal:

Code: Select all

var x: array [1..5] of array [1..9] of integer

// and inside the code 

  x[i][j] := i*j;

Thanks!

I am still curious what particular brand of pascal Usine uses....

I found a workaround that keeps my code more readable:

for i = 0 to max
for j = 0 to max
idx = //compute from i and j
do stuff with array[idx]

However, I am now wishing for dynamic arrays in my second dimension, where each array in the array of arrays was of variable length.

var x: array [1..8] of array[] of integer;

I'll see if Usine lets me do that....

Hi !
If you want variable size array, the best should be to use vectors en C++, and make a user module.

or a simpler way, use polyphony and an array within a sub-array ?

if the process is too heavy on the CPU, you can also use the "procedure" method.

Sure it will work.
