question about storing arrays within 2D arrays

[lilkittenz]

I'm still fairly new to programming concepts, especially arrays.

 

what I want to do is set an array of values within a 2D array equal to another array

 

This is an example of what I mean:

 

program New;

var
SomeArray: Array[0..9] of Integer;
Some2DArray: Array[0..9] of Array[0..9] of integer;

begin
Some2DArray[0]:= SomeArray;
end.

 

I am currently getting a type Mismatch, but if Some2DArray[0] holds an array than why can't I set it equal to another array?

Or am I misunderstanding how 2D arrays work?

Thats because your treating you 2d array like a 1d array. Also you never specified which array you want to set. Heres a working example

 

[scar]

program New;

 

var

SomeArray: Array[0..9] of Integer;

Some2DArray: Array[0..9] of Array[0..9] of integer;

I: Integer;

 

begin

Some2DArray[0][0]:= SomeArray[0];

For I := 0 to High(SomeArray) do

Some2DArray[0] := SomeArray;

end.

It judges your 2 declarations of the base array of Integer as different types, you need to declare the array as a type first, then it will work.

 

[scar]type

T10Ints = array[0..9] of Integer;

 

var

SomeArray: T10Ints;

Some2DArray: array[0..9] of T10Ints;

 

begin

Some2DArray[0]:= SomeArray;

end.[/scar]

Ah I see why it didn't work now. Thanks Guys.

Never tried it in a type before. Bookmarked! Thanks Freddy
