Removing an item in an array

[atrain]

i have to make a program which keeps track of things... I want things to be added and subtracted...

i hear a flexible array can let the array be added to, but can i delete arrayvar (2) and have everything else shift down??

im willing to move everything down, then delete the last one 2...


so how would i go about doing this? (adding + subtracting)

code:

colorback (black) color (white) var file, maxnum : int := 10 var numbers : array 1 .. maxnum of int var choice : string for i : 1 .. maxnum     numbers (i) := i * 3 end for proc table     cls     for i : 1 .. maxnum         locate (i, 1)         put i, ". ", numbers (i)     end for end table loop     table     put "Select a file number"     get file     put "What do you want to do, (w)rite, (d)elete, (q)uit?"     get choice     if choice = "w" then         put "Enter a number"         get numbers (file)     elsif choice = "d" then         if file not= maxnum then             for i : file .. maxnum - 1                 numbers (i) := numbers (i + 1)             end for         end if         numbers (maxnum) := 0     else         exit     end if end loop

Also look under tutorials under high score for more help on this.

read the flexible array tutorial on how to delete certain parts of it. its by Cervantes and he explain how to do that very well

where is this tutorial that you speakith of?

Internet -- same place where every other Turing tutorial is.

k, i see how to do it... thanks all!!!

1 other question: if i set new Array, current - 1

then it will properly delete an item??

[Tony]

Exactly. If you need to get rid of an item in an array, just swap it with the last element and decrease the size by one.

[atrain]

yup it works fine... Thanx soo much


now only problem is my program is so huge, it doesnt have enougf memory to indent!!!
stupid wine!!!

[McKenzie]

Turing will also stop indenting if you have even a single line that is too long. Check for that before you give up on the auto-indent.

[Bacchus]

copy selections of the code and paste them into a new turing file to indent it then just copy and paste that back into the main file. always did that at school and worked just fine

[atrain]

by ine that is too long, do you mean like a loop / if statment inside a loop inside a loop and on and on, so that the indent would be huge

or

the line has 2 much text on it, and i have to split it up if possible???

i manualy indented it this time, but my code will just continue growing... i got rid of all big lines...
my program is 453 lines long...

[Cervantes]

There shouldn't be any problem with 453 lines. Probably you've got some really long lines. Try splitting them up.

[atrain]

ive split up long lines...

im pritty sure it has to do with the fact that im on wine...

i wish theyed make a version of turing for linux already (i hear there is one, but not sure how resent it is..)
