Blitz 2000 - Programming: Arrays and Lists of newtypes

Arrays and Lists of newtypes

Just as variables which used newtypes were the same as variables which used the basic types, there is no difference between arrays and lists of newtypes and arrays and lists of the basic types. All the same rules apply from the original arrays and lists topic, and the rules about newtypes from the previous page should also be followed.

The only thing you need to know is the way fields are accessed in arrays and lists of newtypes. To do this, you use the 'arrayname\field' format, just as with variables, like this:

NEWTYPE.person name$ ; Person's name age.w ; Their age in years height.q ; Height in metres day.w : month : year ; Date of birth End NEWTYPE Dim foo.person(5) Dim List bar.person(5) foo(0)\name = "My name is foo" AddItem bar() bar()\age = 24
