Alright, what I'm trying to do is add items to an RPG game. The problem is, I can't find a way to increase the size of the array so that there is room to add another item later.
Here is what I have so far, but when a new item is added it just overwrites the last item in the array.
| code: |
var inventory : array 1 .. * of string := init ("Dirt", "Food")
var item : string put "Items in your inventory." loop for i : 1 .. upper(inventory) put i, ". ", inventory (i) end for put "Enter the new item to add" get item inventory (upper(inventory)) := item cls end loop |
Am I doing something wrong, or is there some point I still need to learn? Should I be using a dynamic array somehow instead? Any help would be appreciated, I'm getting confused...
*Edit* Wait, is it flexible arrays? I'll try looking it up, but some help would still be appreciated.
*Edit 2* Ohh, I was right. I finally got it - proud of myself
.
| code: |
var inv : flexible array 1 .. 2 of string
var item : string var limit : int := 2 inv(1) := "Dirt" inv(2) := "Apple" put "Items in your inventory:" loop for i : 1 .. upper(inv) put i, ". ", inv(i) end for put "Enter the new item to add." limit += 1 get item new inv, limit inv (upper(inv)) := item cls end loop |
