Question about Array Variables

[Sssjim]

Hey... I am curious about arrays...

When creating an array with 8 elements, does the program recognize them as 1 to 8, or is it like a C++ program and create units 0 thru 7????

And if I make an array using the player conversion variable, does it convert player 1 to a 1 or a 0? (i.e. when checking an 8 element array called score(), would the first entry be score(0) or score(1)? And if it goes from 0 to 7 and I tried to access score(8), what would it do???

Thanks!

Jim

It is 0 to 7, and player indexes are the player number. The easiest way to deal with it is to make the array have a dimension of 9 instead of 8.

Neither really.

If you have, for example, an array with a size of 3,
you can use array[2], array[17] and array[42]
if you really want to...

And, even better, you can actually put more values inside as you have place,
and it still works
