Array

Array

Arrays of variables are represented by a variable (with a valid suffix or no suffix, as above) and suffixed further by an array subscript, e.g. an index into the array, zero based, and surrounded by brackets. For example to access array element 50 from an array of strings you would access it in the form myarray$(50). Arrays must be allocated by the DIM statement, and can be dynamically extended using REDIM.

As a special case, it is possible to initialise all elements in an array to the same value by not specifying the subscript. For example arrayname=0 will initialised all array elements to zero and array$="foo" will set all elements in a string array to "foo".
