really simple array problem

[shoobyman]

i am teh noob of teh forums, so can u guys help me?
i am trying to learn arrays, but no matter how much i try to call up the variable, it will not display it.
i can make it appear, but only if i use the "init" command.
this is my code, and each time i run it, it says that variable has no value.

code:

var number: array 1..10 of int put number (2)

If it says the variable has no value, it probably has a pretty good reason for saying so.

number (2) does not mean the integer, 2. It refers to the second element of an array of variables.

In this case, you have not assigned the second element (or any elements, for that matter) a value. To do so, you'd do this:

code:

number (2) := 10473

Or perhaps we could do this:

code:

for i : 1 .. 10     number (i) := i ** 2 end for

oooooooooooo, it doesn't mean integer 2, that makes more sense i just gotta declare what number (2) is, thanx! lol me is noob

or..

code:

var nums : array 1..5 of int := init (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) put nums(2)

Now, you wont get an error because the corresponding element at the index of 2 is 2.

What your code does is creates a set of 10 integer variables.

Your code is the equivalent of:

code:

var number1: int var number2: int var number3: int ... var number10: int put number2

thank you all, very helpful, i now completely understand arrays, (it wasn't nearly as hard as i thought) .
