udt and experiments :)

hi dear thinbasic users,

I am very seldom use UDT's but in this case I tested it :) original I wanted to test my liongfx module with udt, but only to replace it for printl messages it doesn't satisfy me ;)

at the beginning of the script you will find some "1" and "2" trees... (why ?) I was suprised to see it, have made experiments with print and other things you can see between the lines...

perhaps somebody can check this script if this udt example works...

[code=thinbasic]uses "console" '- , "liongfx"

printl "one little udt example.. :)"
printl

waitkey[/code]

the problem was to use this one... will check, why it doesn't work... if you are using it you will get a gpf at the end of the script... sorry... have noticed this mistake after second test with my laptop...

[code=thinbasic]
dim r as long
%asterix = 2
For r as long = 1 to 5
lover(1).jake(r).startrek = %asterix
printl lover(1)
NEXT[/code]

the included dummy function is still a further try for part two of the script to use it ;) more to come.

best regards, nice evening, mr. experimento :)

Frank,

you catched yourself into own trap with following :):
[code=thinbasic]
dim r as long
%asterix = 2
For r as long = 1 to 5
lover(1).jake(r).startrek = %asterix
printl lover(1)
NEXT
[/code]

Lover is of type Horror. So it can have members: jimmy, paula, theThing(1 to 5) or jake(1 to 10).

Lover(1).jake(r) => correct, if dotted further:

jake() is of type comix, which can have members: batman, hulk, spiderman, xmen, transmitter, starttrek

Lover(1).jake(r).startrek => correct, if dotted further:

startrek is of type Apple, which can have members: r, s, color, pants

but you did not listed any of these members.

So you would have to type something like:
[code=thinbasic]
lover(1).jake(r).startrek.r = %asterix
[/code]

Your assignment:
[code=thinbasic]
lover(1).jake(r).startrek = %asterix
[/code]
would be possible for assigning variable of type Apple, not number.

good morning petr,

thank you... I see my mistake... and have checked this early morning another part of going with

[code=thinbasic]dim r as long
%asterix = 2
For r as long = 1 to 4
lover(1).jake(r).startrek.weapon(4) = %asterix
printl lover(1)
NEXT
[/code]

and added for type apple weapon(4) ... tested it with r and s(1) too ... it works... :)

TYPE Apple
r as integer
s(1) as integer
color as string
pants as string
weapon(4) as long
END TYPE

---

your idea is very good with eg.

Quote:

dim r as long
%asterix = 2
For r as long = 1 to 5
lover(1).jake(r).startrek.r = %asterix
printl lover(1)
NEXT

I believe UDT's aren't my best friends ;) no, no... just a joke...

thank you for help..., nice day, I hope with a lot of sun bathing... or icecream...
