Title: defining an Array of a Class question
Post by: Guilect on October 20, 2008, 04:50:43 PM

What is the correct way to define an array of a Class?

I tried the following (compile as console) :



Class foobar
	def m_x as int
	declare foobar()
	declare setx(value as int)
	declare getx(), int
ENDCLASS

sub foobar::foobar()
	m_x = 99
ENDSUB

sub foobar::setx(value as int)
	m_x = value
ENDSUB

sub foobar::getx(),INT
	return m_x
ENDSUB



' Test code for above Class
def test[3] as foobar

print test[0].getx()
print test[1].getx()
print test[2].getx()

DO:UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""

But the output is :

99
0
0

and I have checked to see that the Class constructor sub routine is only being called one time.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It is a limitation of the language. The constructor is only called for the first element of an array.

You can call it yourself for the other elements.

for x = 1 to n
test[ x ].foobar()
next x
