----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Mon Mar 07, 2005 6:47 pm 2D arrays ----------------------------------- I know what 2D arrays are but i have a question on hwo to use them, for example if i have a 2D array, how do i get them to match each other for example : 1st -> 1st 1st -> 2nd 1st -> 3rd 2nd -> 1st 2nd -> 2nd 2nd -> 3rd 3rd -> 1st 3rd -> 2nd 3rd -> 3rd Match each other, hard to understand?? =S ----------------------------------- person Mon Mar 07, 2005 6:49 pm ----------------------------------- wat does -> mean? ----------------------------------- Flikerator Mon Mar 07, 2005 8:18 pm ----------------------------------- wat does -> mean? I think it means "=". ----------------------------------- ssr Mon Mar 07, 2005 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- do u get the question though? umm do u wanna replace all the values in the array that has the index with the same values? ummm :P ----------------------------------- Flikerator Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:28 pm ----------------------------------- var nums : array 1 .. 3 of int for i : 1 .. 3 nums (i) := 1 end for Now they all equal 1. Is that what you wanted? Not sure what is meant by 2D array (Never heard of them). ----------------------------------- person Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:30 pm ----------------------------------- 2D arrays r arrays wich r stored in an array...i know someone (probably Cervantes) wrote a tutorial on it...all i remember was wat 2D arrays r and that it was a good tutorial ----------------------------------- Bacchus Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:51 pm ----------------------------------- ex) var test:array 1..5,1..5 of int for i:1..5 for a:1..5 test(i,a):=i*a end for end for that right there is a 2d array. so each array of 1..5 has another array of 1..5, so test(1,1) would = 1 , test(3,5) would = 15. hm.. maybe like a graph may work to explain best test(1,*)= test(1,1) test(1,2) test(1,3) test(1,4) test(1,5) test(2,*)= test(2,1) test(2,2) test(2,3) test(2,4) test(3,5) test(3,*)= test(3,1) test(3,2) test(3,3) test(3,4) test(3,5) test(4,*)= test(4,1) test(4,2) test(4,3) test(4,4) test(4,5) test(5,*)= test(5,1) test(5,2) test(5,3) test(5,4) test(5,5) kinda like that lol ----------------------------------- person Tue Mar 08, 2005 3:32 pm ----------------------------------- :D thats 2D arryas in a nutshell!!! btw: ur not limited to just 2 dimensions, u can go all the way to watever if u like but that would be confusing and....(i digress)...... ----------------------------------- Token Tue Mar 08, 2005 3:50 pm ----------------------------------- okay now i have a question, is it possible to have a string variable inside an integer variable, or vice versa? like for example a high score, i would want to store the persons username and then theyre score, i could put them both into a string array but then i wouldent be able to sort them unless i used the strint function, any ideas? ----------------------------------- Bacchus Tue Mar 08, 2005 4:58 pm ----------------------------------- i sugest using records var player:array 1..2 of record name:string score:int end record ----------------------------------- Flikerator Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:06 pm ----------------------------------- Its easy to suggest records when you don't explain how to use them :roll: Yah after I asked what 2D arrays where I read a tutorial on them...Thanks though ;) Records are VERY useful with arrays/flexible arrays. ----------------------------------- Bacchus Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:38 pm ----------------------------------- srry i think kinda wierd and in my own way so i dont think to explain things at first var player:array 1..2 of %making an array of 1..2 of the following record %starts the record lol name:string %gives the variable player(x) a sub variable score:int %adds another subvariable end record %end the record, could have more variable if wanted as an example you would do: player(1).name:="Bob" player(1).score:=13 that way 'Bob' would have a score of '13' sotred under the same variable, you can make a type by using records (pretty sure in tutorial) and u can even use records in records if you wanted to. just an easy way to store sub variable uynder one name to keep track of them ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Fri Mar 11, 2005 7:18 pm ----------------------------------- ex) var test:array 1..5,1..5 of int for i:1..5 for a:1..5 test(i,a):=i*a end for end for that right there is a 2d array. so each array of 1..5 has another array of 1..5, so test(1,1) would = 1 , test(3,5) would = 15. hm.. maybe like a graph may work to explain best test(1,*)= test(1,1) test(1,2) test(1,3) test(1,4) test(1,5) test(2,*)= test(2,1) test(2,2) test(2,3) test(2,4) test(3,5) test(3,*)= test(3,1) test(3,2) test(3,3) test(3,4) test(3,5) test(4,*)= test(4,1) test(4,2) test(4,3) test(4,4) test(4,5) test(5,*)= test(5,1) test(5,2) test(5,3) test(5,4) test(5,5) kinda like that lol Yea its something like that but if the first array is 2, 4, 5, 6, 3 and the second array is 3, 2, 5, 6, 1 then if 2 matches 3 then do blah 2 matches 2 then do blah 2 matches 5 then do blah 2 matches 6 then do blah 2 matches 1 then do blah 4 matches 3 then do blah 4 matches 2 then do blah 4 matches 5 then do blah 4 matches 6 then do blah 4 matches 1 then do blah 5 matches 3 then do blah 5 matches 2 then do blah 5 matches 5 then do blah 5 matches 6 then do blah 5 matches 1 then do blah =S ----------------------------------- Bacchus Fri Mar 11, 2005 7:28 pm ----------------------------------- try nested for loops for i:1..upper(array1) for a:1..upper(array2) if array1(i)=array2(a) then %do stuff end if end for end for ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Fri Mar 18, 2005 5:39 pm ----------------------------------- cool thanks :)
