Hi,

Hi,
could you please add to help how to declare array of string.
Thanks Thopas

it will be added. Thanks.

Code: Select all

typedef ss as string[5]

dim buff as ss[5]

Please answer only if (when) you have the time for this. My question is only theoretical. Why this construction? Since strings are arrays why not declare an array of string like this dim string[10][20]? It is much more readable.
I do not know if i recocognize the array of string when i read a programm text with type def....

Perhaps sometimes there is a little time...
I want to understand.

- What would be logical interpretation of string[10][20]? String is an array of characters, what is string of strings? String has an null terminating character at the end, so what would be the first dimension of this string of strings? 10 or 11 (including null char)?

- You should name your string typedef in a way which will make this obvious, i.e. let them begin with str_ prefix.

Thanks for your sight. And for your time.
I have another view. And other software developers have that too. You know that. But you have made a new basic that is really serious. Thanks for that.
I like it very much.
Where else you can find compilers so sophisticated for 8-bitters and (16ers) with this possibility of portability. Never had a tool like that before. Today 8051 and tomorrow AVR or PIC and that with my limited knowing of basic language . Great!!
