Subscript out of range? - Cobalt - 12-18-2023

Ok now that I have some time to code and play around, I'm trying to get back into it.
Thus I find my self in a situation that I'm not sure what is going on. I have an array with 16 elements (0-15) and I have a RND statement that I think is supposed to give me results of 0-15(RND * 16) But every so often I am receiving a Subscript out of range error.
am I just goofing or is something else going on? What am I forgetting here?

Line 41 is listed as the error line, which is the RND * 16 line.
I've attached the needed files to run it , if your curious just what it does.
Steve, I would be interested in your thoughts on how it is setup and what it puts out.

RE: Subscript out of range? - mnrvovrfc - 12-18-2023

You're better off putting ```INT()``` around the ```RND * 16```. Because the C++ compiler code is forced to do a type-casting or something else to handle a float value to fit it as integer and then rounding errors could happen. (shrugs)

Code: (Select All)
P.Title = Titles(INT(RND * 16))

Also you might lose some information assigning an element from ```Titles()``` array which is an array of VLS's, while "Title" field from UDT could hold only 24 characters.

RE: Subscript out of range? - SMcNeill - 12-19-2023

Code: (Select All)

Dim totals(16)

For i = 1 To 1000 'roll the dice 1000 times!

    x = Rnd * 16

    totals(x) = totals(x) + 1

Next

For i = 0 To 16

    Print i, totals(i)

Next

Run the above and you'll quickly see the glitch -- values ROUND to the nearest integer. Anytime you get 15.5 or higher, it tries to increment the total for the 16th element in my array.

Fix??

Simply make that (INT(RND * 16)) in your program instead.

Just a flyer here, should it be

P.Title = Titles(INT(RND * 16))

?
