Array reintialization

[JoeCool]

It could be really handy to be able to reinitialize array in the code like this ...

standard declaration

dim $xy[2] = [0,0]

somewhere in the code

$xy = [10,4]

instead of

$xy[0] = 10

$xy[1] = 4

It could also be handy to be able to reintialize in a standard declaration way after a Redim, ofcourse in that case we will lose previous values...

dim $a[2] = [0,1]

...

redim $a[3] = [3,2,1]

what do u thing ?

of course it is a little bit more job for the interpreter, but less prone to error maybe

Ok, I would vote for empty arrays but this... sorry, what sense would it make? Only to spare a Dim?

dim $a[2] = [0,1]

...

redim $a[3] = [3,2,1]

have you tried this?

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $a[2] = [0, 1]

_ArrayDisplay($a, "First")

Dim $a[3] = [5, 4, 3]

_ArrayDisplay($a, "Second")

Simple Eh??

Simple Eh??

AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1) 
foo()
exit

func foo(  )
    local $i, $j
    local $xy[2]  = [1,2]
    local $xy[4]
    local $xy[3] = [1,2,3]
    local $xy[2]  = [0,0]
  
    for $i = 1 to 2
       local $xy[3]  = [$i,$i,$i]
       $j = $i
    next   

    $xy[2] = 9
endfunc

OMG !, I'm so old school, I never thought to redefine variables like that ! But you're right who need reinitialization when when you can redeclare all you want ! in my head it's not the same but here it seems to be the same.

yes i just read that nice thread

:)

im not sure multiple redefinitions in the same namespace is a nice way to reinitilization .... but im old school...
