After some tries to use arrays and giving up on problems, this time I decided to write about it. Maybe this can help to make it a bit better.
What to expect from arrays? Some examples to show what i (badly) miss:
Code: Select all
array2[] = array1[]; // just to say: also if one or both are global
array2[] = func(array1[]); // use arrays as parm of a function ...
function func(locarray[]) {
... create la2[] ...
return la2[]; // ... and return an array
}
array2[2-5] = array1[12-15]; // would be quite nice
array3[] = array1[12-15]; // not bad?
Stepping through.../Variables...
For an array it's first element is shown, followed by the info how many elements it has. But if the contents is too long - the most important info, how many elements it has, is lost.
Double clicking the array shows the first element again - but now only with the name of the array but without the element nbr is shown. (As if the arrray would be the contents of it's 1st element)
From double click on an array I'd expect all info about the array, maybe display of the first elements (or all if scrollable), and the ability to show any element! (Ability to display *any* element is the bare minimum.)
OK - that's a bit. And knowing Dons love for long posts I'll stop it here.
