2D Arrays

[EthernautParticipant]

Hi!
This code:

Monkey

#Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local test := CreateArray( 5, 5 ) test[1][2] = "Test" Print test[1][2] End Function CreateArray:String[][] ( x:Int, y:Int ) Local temp:String[x][] For Local i:Int = 0 Until x temp[i] = New String[y] Next Return temp End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

#Import "<std>" Using std..   Function Main() Local test := CreateArray( 5, 5 ) test[1][2] = "Test" Print test[1][2] End   Function CreateArray:String[][] ( x:Int, y:Int ) Local temp:String[x][] For Local i:Int = 0 Until x temp[i] = New String[y] Next Return temp End

Works relatively unchanged in Monkey 1, but I can’t get it to work in Monkey 2. It seems it doesn’t like the “Local temp:String[x][]” line.

How do you create a 2D array in Monkey?
Something that can be accessed like myArray[x][y], or similar to that?

Thanks!

Hi

In MX2 2D arrays are like in Bmax, just define them with New String[w,h] (or New Int…etc)

 

Monkey

#Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local ta:=New String[2,2] ta[0,0]="Hallo" ta[1,0]="World" Print ta[0,0]+" "+ta[1,0] End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

#Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local ta:=New String[2,2] ta[0,0]="Hallo" ta[1,0]="World"   Print ta[0,0]+" "+ta[1,0]   End

 

OT:

Just a side note, the ‘crayon’ highlighter should allow to setup a ‘default’ language when you type in the code-box section… I just noticed you need to select it manually (I’m sure there’s an option for the crayon-module somewhere)

Ooooohh, awesome!

Much better than creating a new function for every type of 2D array you need, like you have to do in Monkey1.

Thanks!

2d arrays are very much *not* like Bmax

 

local ta:String[2,2]  <– error

 

[EthernautParticipant]

I think you just need to create a new array object. This works:

local ta:= New String[2,2]

Cheers.

Well, I mean the syntax and the ‘accessing method’ (index separated with commas) is very similar to Bmax.

Just the definition is different. Maybe it’s a needed step for wider compatibility with the target languages.

I prefer this 2D array than the ‘standard C’ version [][]
