[FIXED]reating a flexible array of objects

[viperfan7]

I was using the new statement wrong, fixed it now



What is it you are trying to achieve?
Trying to convert the GravArt.t example to use objects and have a variable planet count, just doing this for the fun of it


What is the problem you are having?
I'm having issues figuring out how to store objects into a flexible array, all it does is error out with subscript of planetsArray is of wrong type


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I've tried creating a junk variable of type ^PlanetClass and using new planetsArray, junkvar


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

var planetsArray : flexible array 1 .. 0 of ^PlanetClass ... ... ...     for i : 1 .. planetCount         new planetsArray , PlanetClass     end for

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Using whatever the version of OpenTuring is, the one with the nice editor

Ok, it's because you're stating things wrong.

If you want to change the upper value of a flexible array, you do this:

var arr : flexible array 1 .. 0 of int
new arr, 5

That will change the upper limit to 5.


If you want to state a new class, you do this:

var classVariable : ^Class
new Class, classVariable


Now lets put them together:

var arrClass : flexible array 1 .. 0 of ^Class
new arrClass, 1
new Class, arrClass (1)


Also note the feature upper, which results the upper bound of an array

Figured it out just after I had posted it, now have it fully functional, been years since I've done anything in turing, been coding in C# as of late
