    Re: Example: passing vector or array to same function

    Hi e90712,

    thanks for sharing very nice code, I, as a matrix lover, appreciate it a lot

    Just one thing - ThinBasic allows programmer to determine dimensions of array using UBOUND keyword.
    So it is possible to avoid run time error 20, you can handle incorrect input on your own.

    See modified function:
    [code=thinbasic]
    FUNCTION digitarrayshow( data_array( ) AS INTEGER, maxdim1 AS INTEGER, maxdim2 AS INTEGER, breakcount AS INTEGER ) as long
    LOCAL idim1 AS INTEGER
    LOCAL idim2 AS INTEGER

    ' -- Error checking
    select case maxdim1
    case < 1
    write NL & "[!] MaxDim1 must be positive" & NL
    return %FALSE ' -- Not success, RETURN is the same as FUNCTION = ... : EXIT FUNCTION

    case > ubound(data_array, 1)
    write NL & "[!] MaxDim1 bigger than array can index ("+STR$(ubound(data_array, 1))+" )" & NL
    return %FALSE ' -- Not success, RETURN is the same as FUNCTION = ... : EXIT FUNCTION
    end select

    select case maxdim2
    case <> 0
    if ubound(data_array, 2) = 0 then
    write NL & "[!] MaxDim2 specified for one dimensional array" & NL
    return %FALSE ' -- Not success, RETURN is the same as FUNCTION = ... : EXIT FUNCTION
    end if

    case < 1
    if ubound(data_array, 2) <> 0 then
    write NL & "[!] MaxDim2 must be positive" & NL
    return %FALSE ' -- Not success, RETURN is the same as FUNCTION = ... : EXIT FUNCTION
    end if

    case > ubound(data_array, 2)
    write NL & "[!] MaxDim2 bigger than array can index ("+STR$(ubound(data_array, 2))+" )" & NL
    return %FALSE ' -- Not success, RETURN is the same as FUNCTION = ... : EXIT FUNCTION

    end select

    ' -- Functionality
    FOR idim1 = 1 TO maxdim1
    IF maxdim2 > 0 THEN
    FOR idim2 = 1 TO maxdim2
    IF MOD ( idim2, breakcount ) = 1 OR breakcount < 2 THEN
    write NL
    ENDIF
    write data_array( idim1, idim2 ), " "
    NEXT
    ELSE
    IF MOD ( idim1, breakcount ) = 1 OR breakcount < 2 THEN
    write NL
    ENDIF
    write data_array( idim1 ), " "
    ENDIF
    NEXT

    write NL

    function = %TRUE ' -- Success

    END FUNCTION
    [/code]
