Arrays

Important

Any array that is allocated in the global scope is actually a p8/p16/p32. It is basically a pointer variant of the type that it assumes.

Currently, global arrays are broken and might not work depending on your use. So for now, if you want a global array, declare a typed variable globally and then allocate data for it in the entry function

create string:array bob;

entry function<>
{
    bob <- {"hello", "world"};
}

Allocation

{<value1>,<value2>,...};            // Array that takes all types
<type>{<value1>,<value2>,...};      // Clamped array to certain size
<type>[<size>]                      // Array of type with certain size

{123,"Hello World!"}                // Allocate array with two elements
u8{254,255,256}                     // Allocate 8bit array. In this example, the 3rd element will overflow to 0
u32[10]                             // Allocate 10 ints

Assignation

create <name> <- {<value1>,<value2>,...};
create <name> <- <type>{<value1>,<value2>,...};
create <name> <- <type>[<size>];

create <name> <pointer type>;                  // Create a pointer 
...
<name> <- <type>{<value1>,<value2>,...};       // Assign the array to the pointer

create bat p32;                                // Create a pointer variable "bat"  
...
bat <- u32{1,2,3};                             // Assign the array to "bat"

Accessing

<array>[<index>];                              // Read an item from the array

bat[4];                                        // Get the 4th (0-indexed) item of "bat"

Nested Indexing 

<array>[<index>][<index>]...      // Read nested arrays

zee[1][0];                        // Get the 0th item of the 1st item of "zee"

Scaling 

<array>[<index>][<type> <index>]  // Treat the nested array as a <type> array

bat[4][%1 3]                      // Get the 3rd item of the 4th item of "bat" as an 8-bit array

Setting

<array>[<index>] <- <value>;
