An array of an array

[mwachna]

Ok...i have 3 parametres...first is the subject, topic, and days needed to cover the topic.

each are represened by int's.
subject=3
topic(subject(1))=3; topic(subject(2))=2; topic(suject(3))=1
days(t(s(1))(1))=2 %this means that the days needed to cover the 1st topic of the first subject is 2; days(t(s(1))(2))=1; days(t(s(1))(3))=1
days(t(s(2))(1))=4; days(t(s(2))(2))=2
days(t(s(3))(1))=8

so ideally i would like to call upon a variable, lets call it "AtClass" in the form of "AtClass(S,T,D)" %haha...STD not intentional

i would like this variable to contain the number of students in class.
so if AtClass(2,1,3)=10, that would mean that 10 children were presend for the 3rd day of the first topic covered in subject 1.

basically i want to do:
var AtClass: array of 1..3, 1..(topics for subject of the first parametre), 1..(days for the topic # of the second parameter for the subject of the first parameter) of int

sorry this is really hard to describe

yes

lol, yeah, whatever your code is, use the code tools, so then it wont look like a bunch of letters bunched together, and we can deciefer between everthing.

i really dont get ur problem...but maybe im the only one lost?

Use a record with an array. If I understand the problem clearly use them. There are two tutorials in the tutorials section on both.

code:

type Students :      record           subject           days           topic      end record

Looks something like that, manipulate it as you please.

here, this is what i have for a temporary code: (to animate a dance step)

code:

var Steps : array 1 .. 3, 1 .. 100 of int var StepName : array 1 .. 3, 1 .. 100 of string var TotSteps : array 1 .. 3 of int var preview : array 1 .. 10 of array 1 .. 3, 1 .. 100 of int %note: i used "100" as an extreme limit, however, the limits vary and are %all under 20 proc Preview (region : int, step : int) %3 possible region value                                                       %each region has a unique amount                                                       %of steps ("step")     loop          for rep : 1 .. Frames (region, step)  %how many frames for this step               Pic.Draw (preview (rep) (region, step), 100, 0, picCopy)               delay (500)          end for     exit when hasch     end loop end Preview

When submitting code make sure to put on "Code" Format... and include the vars >.<

so if im understanding this right... you want an array with a sub-array that has a sub-array?
[code]var blah:array 1..x,1..x,1..x of watever[code]
or if you wanted one array but with different subheadings:
[code]var blah:array 1..x of
record
a:int
b:string
end record[/code]

Well i more want to have an array of an array, but i want to set the parametres seperately for each part of the array. If i wanted to do it the long and complex way, we would be looking at something like this:

code:

var TotalClass1Topic1Day1:int var TotalClass1Topic1Day2:int var TotalClass1Topic1Day3:int var TotalClass1Topic2Day1:int var TotalClass1Topic2Day2:int var TotalClass2Topic1Day1:int var TotalClass2Topic1Day2:int var TotalClass2Topic1Day3:int var TotalClass2Topic2Day1:int var TotalClass2Topic2Day2:int var TotalClass2Topic2Day3:int var TotalClass2Topic3Day1:int var TotalClass2Topic3Day2:int var TotalClass3Topic1Day1:int var TotalClass3Topic1Day2:int var TotalClass3Topic2Day1:int var TotalClass3Topic2Day2:int

as you can see...its way to much variable declaration and if i wanted to output one of these variables depending on an independent condition i would have to create the world's largest if statement.
There has to be away for me to group these together into some kind of array so that i can just say "put Toltal(x)(y)(z)" or "put Total(x,y,z)" where x y an z are variables with values generated from an independent event.

if this doesn't clear things up, don't worry about it. I will hammer things out edvintually.

just wondering... has a thought of trying out the code ever occured to you? What you're trying to do is compleatly legal.

Turing:

var foo : array 1 .. 3, 1 .. 3, 1 .. 3 of int for x : 1 .. 3     for y : 1 .. 3         for z : 1 .. 3             foo (x, y, z) := x + y + z         end for     end for end for

I have found a solution to the problem...for better understanding, and an answer to my problem, check out the tutorial: "arrays of arrays and more arrays."
