Explicit declaration...

[gregbug]

Hi i'm very new to GLBasic (and basic in general) 

i selected in my project "explicit declaration"

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


CONSTANT MaxXBalls% = 7
CONSTANT MaxYBalls% = 7

DIM BallTable%[MaxXBalls%][MaxYBalls%]


in the code glBasic says " variable is not explicitly defined : BallTable%" 
why ? 
how can explicit define the BallTable array ? "dim" is not enough?

thanks.
and sorry for my stupid question...

If I remember correctly, you need to use GLOBAL DIM

No - thats wrong...

Try :

GLOBAL BallTable%[]
DIM BallTable%[MaxXBalls%][MaxYBalls%]

Hi gregbug, for make an array you only have to write a line seem linke this.

Dim arrayname

•     --This is an unidimensional array  and x is a number in example 10
  Dim arrayname
• [y]    --This is an biidimensional array  and x is a number in example 10 and y can be too 10 or another number
  
  I think waht the maximun dimensions on a array are four.
  
  Rebember always!!!, when you run into Array, the maximun value, is arrayname[x-1].
  
  Best regards.

if you want explicits, you must tell the compiler about the vairable

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


GLOBAL arr[]
DIM arr[8]
