Array Bug or Design ?


Recommended Posts

Not the most bestest way because try to pass a million element array to it.

global $array1[20]

for $i = 0 to 19
  $array1[$i] = $i
next

global $array2[20]

for $i = 0 to 19
  $array2[$i] = $array1[$i]
next

switch array_compare($array1, $array2)
  case true
    consolewrite(true & @crlf)
  case false
    consolewrite(false & @crlf)
EndSwitch

func array_compare(const byref $ar1, const byref $ar2)
  local const $ar1_size = ubound($ar1) - 1

  local const $ar2_size = ubound($ar2) - 1

  switch $ar1_size <> $ar2_size
    case true
      return false
  endswitch

  for $i = 0 to $ar1_size
    switch $ar1[$i] <> $ar2[$i]
      case true
        return false
    endswitch
  next

  return true
endfunc

yep not very satisfying.

from a logical point, if you set a = b, ( a = b ) should be True.

so is this a bug ?

No, not a bug. You're trying to compare an array with an array, but you're doing it totally wrong.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Think of arrays as variables within a variable, so no that logic won't work if you think like that for arrays.

The assignment $a = $b with $b an array is [probably] implemented as a copy constructor. There is little ambiguity about what a copy constructor is expected to do, at least from a user point of view.

Comparison of variants (e.g. AutoIt variables) is a completely distinct operation. AutoIt developers choose not to implement arrays operators like =, >, >=, <=, <, <>, ==, +, +=, -, -=, and so on. While some of them could be assigned an obvious semantics, others would mean something specific. These choices are design choices. And we are not at this stage discussing AutoIt design.

In short, loop thru your arrays and decide which equality test you see fit for your use case.

well, this should work in all (??? => except the "blank" vs "0" problem) cases:

.

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $array1[20]

For $i=0 To 19
    $array1[$i]=$i
Next

$array2=$array1

MsgBox(0,UBound($array2),(_ArrayToString($array1)==_ArrayToString($array2)))

.

but from a performance view, there are most probably better solutions.

that should work. but think if you have a long array and the index 0  boths array are differents  array1[0]<>array2[0], you'll continue the convetion to string. you'll spending time. I think the best is while array1[$i]==array1[$i] keep comparing, else are diferents. obvious comparing first array size.

 

Saludos.
