Sometimes a structure can be easier to remember how to access example:
Personnal info First name Last name age sex etc An array would be entered like: info[1] = "fname" info[2] = "lname" info[3] = "age" I would have to remember that info[3] was age, but if you use a structure you would do something like info.fname = "fname" info.lname = "lname" info.age = "age" for me this make it easier to read the code later and tell what I am looking for <TD> #info[3]#</TD> Versis <TD> #info.age#</TD> Again just my opion but the second one makes it easier to debug and maintain the code. this is one example why I like structure, sometimes over arrays. -----Original Message----- From: Phoeun Pha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 2:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Structure vs. array I always found structures to be harder to work with than arrays. in fact i find nothing useful with structure (cuz of ignorance, of course) :) Can someone gimme an example of when a structure should be used and what not? Cuz structures are one of the few main things I have left to touch in Coldfusion. And now for something a little off topic. I am so happy I have a job! Aren't you?! :) ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
