There is a fantastic search tool on this site. If you search the Turing Tutorials section for "Arrays" you will come up with all of the Turing tutorials about arrays. And they are quite good.

If I wasn't so lazy I'd post links for you.

just a questiong

-----------------------------------

hey i am wondering why this doesn't work 


var stars_x: array 1..250 of int
var stars_y: array 1..250 of int
for j: 0..300
for i: 1..250
drawdot (stars_x (i),stars_y (i),175)
stars_x (i): stars_x (i)+1
stars_y (i): stars_y (i)+1
drawdot (stars_x (i),stars_y (i),yellow)
end for
end for


it is this part that it screws up at


stars_x (i): stars_x (i)+1
stars_y (i): stars_y (i)+1

since this doesn't work how do i do it

I'm not sure what this program is trying to accomplish, but in this code:

stars_x (i): stars_x (i)+1
stars_y (i): stars_y (i)+1 

You're missing "=" signs. It should be:

stars_x (i):= stars_x (i)+1
stars_y (i):= stars_y (i)+1 

The next problem is that the elements of your arrays have no values. So you're gonna have to set them to something before you can add to them.

EDIT: I see you've already solved the problem. By the time I got around to hitting the submit button for this post, you must've already posted again.
