manual arrays
« on: Jun 28th, 2004, 7:31pm »

how do you manually enter in values into an attay?
like  
myArray = new (1,2,3,4,5,6);
 
or
 
myArray = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
 
both this methods give me errors.
thanks.

firstly, you'll need to specify the data type to be used for the array. then to create an array of preset values use the curly brackets ("{") instead of the squared ones ("[")...
 
Code:
int[] myArray = { 1,2,3,4,5 };

Also note:
This will only work the first time ... i.e. at the time you're defining the array.
So int[] myArray = {1,2,3}; will work, but this won't:
Code:
int[] myArray = {1,2,4};    // this is fine
myArray = {1,2,3};      // can't do this anymore

then again, this does work:
 
int[] myArray;
void setup() {
  myArray = new int[] {1,2,3};
}

Oh yes... I always forget about that little bit of syntax. Thanks for the correction.
