The $DYNAMIC metacommand allows the creation of dynamic (resizable) arrays.
Syntax
Description
- QBasic metacommands require REM or apostrophe (') before them and are normally placed at the start of the main module.
- Dynamic arrays can be resized using REDIM. The array's type cannot be changed.
- All data in the array will be lost when REDIMensioned except when _PRESERVE is used.
- REDIM _PRESERVE can preserve and may move the previous array data when the array boundaries change.
- _PRESERVE allows the upper and lower boundaries of an array to be changed. The number of dimensions cannot change.
- $DYNAMIC arrays must be REDIMensioned if ERASE or CLEAR are used as the arrays are removed completely.
Examples
Example: REDIMing a $DYNAMIC array using _PRESERVE to retain previous array values.
REM $DYNAMIC 'create dynamic arrays only DIM array(10) 'create array with 11 elements FOR i = 0 TO 10 array(i) = i: PRINT array(i); 'set and display element values NEXT PRINT REDIM _PRESERVE array(10 TO 20) FOR i = 10 TO 20 PRINT array(i); NEXT END |
