assembler question (strong typing):
I yield to your expertise.
Could it assume values other than 0 or 1?
Could you mix arrays with different bases in the same program?
I have a vague impression that PL/I goes one step further. When you
define an array, you define the lower and upper bounds (l:h) with
only upper (ie: number of elements) required. Thus you could define a
10 element array that goes from element 5 to 14. In addition it does
bounds checking (this might be optional) with an error being raised
if, for example, index<5 or index>14 gets used to access the above
array.
