looking for array assignment syntax

[DasAuto]

Hi Fellow code-naughts. How is it going.

I m trying to do this:

Dim $myArray[4]

;long arduous codes insert here

$myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4] ; <======= and obviously this gives you an error.

#cs 

so besides doing the 

$myArray[0] = 1;

$myArray[1] = 2;

.....

any faster way of doing this?

thanks

Second question: all local variables, even arrays are destroyed at the end of their scope right? I am not sure about array being a pointer or not in autoit.

Don't use Dim, AutoIt beta help demonstrates why.

Local $aArray[4] = [0, 1, 2, 3]

DasAuto,

And if you do NOT want to do it at assignment time you can do it later in a loop like so...

#include <array.au3>

local $myArray[4]

for $i = 0 to 3
    $myArray[$i] = $i+1
Next

_arraydisplay($myArray)

Thanks for the replies,

I didn't understand the Dim and Local explanation there.

and unfortunately it is not something can be solved by a loop.

my needs arise from something like this:

 

Func ColorCompare( $p1, $p2)

endfunc

$p1 and $p2 are 2 elements arrays representing pixels

when I call the func ColorCompare, I would like to be able to just do this:

ColorCompare( [23, 53] , [345, 132])

Apparently I can not.

No, not yet at least. Array literals are on the list of things I would like to see in the language later.

Usually points are passed around as two parameters, so you'd write your function like:

Func ColorCompare($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2)
EndFunc

Then call it like:

ColorCompare(23, 53, 345, 132)
