Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays Nope.  I mean you can always choose to start them at 1 by just ignoring the zero spot (actually a great idea in some situations), but they do start at zero just like most other languages.  Actually I think there is a command to force them to start at values other

Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays That's the tricky thing about arrays. Getting a length will give you the length of the array, but since the array is base 0, you always have to subtract one from the total length so you don't go over. I was spoiled with vb6 since it is always base 1. I can't

Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays No problem. Once you use them enough, you get used to their querk. C++ (and other languages) makes arrays much easier to work with with classes like std::vector (or Python's lists), providing you safety from going out of bounds and causing the classic "m

Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays Thank you for the help. It did fix my out of bounds errors. However, I am having the following issue.speak(messages[index-=1}); If index = 5, than it will always speak the message number 4. Say I press left arrow, and I've already heard message 4, it will keep

Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays @6, no. Find another use of the counter. Something like:int index=0;...// in loop...// C++ example, similar enough to BGTif (index-1<0) {// re-speak the message just spoken, we're at the edge of the buffer} else if (index+1>array.size()-1) {// out of bounds

Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays Here’s what I am attempting to do. A message history buffer. Left arrow says previous message and right arrow says the next message. I have the loop for it, but I don’t know what to write for previous and next. I have tried counter plus 1 and minus 1, doesn’t

Re: hateful rant on arrays

Re: hateful rant on arrays OK... first. Remind you of what arrays are:* Arrays are collections of items with a specified type.* Arrays are zero-indexed.* The last element of an array is the size of the array minus one. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/post/400648/#p400648
