BUG in arrays

EvanTropFun

Arrays in fuze have a bug,
if you set Int, float , Struct in array everything is working fine, but string array have a bug ;

Exemple with Integer:

array a[3] = [33,15,-54]

loop
 clear()
 print(a[1])
 update()
repeat

Execute the program and on the display you can see 15, it's normal.

Now, with string :

array a[3] = ["Robert","Evan","Dave"]

loop
 clear()
 print(a[1])
 update()
repeat

Now, on the display you can see : ["Robert","Evan","Dave"]
like that,direcly ! What ???? this should happen with the syntax: print(a)
Normaly you must see "Evan" It's a bug or It's me ?

This does seem like a bug with the array initialization to me

With the size specified each element of the array seems to contain an array with all 3 elements.

The following behaves as expected

a = ["Robert","Evan","Dave"]

loop
 clear()
 print(a[1])
 update()
repeat

I will report it. Thanks for your report

There is some misunderstanding here I think. I do not think there is a bug here.

The way you are declaring the array is a shorthand syntax to initialise an array of 3 elements each of which containing an array of 3 defined elements.

I am confused because your first example should not print a single number. It should print [33,15,-54], since that array of 3 elements is stored in each element of your array called 'a'

array a[3] = [15, 64, 2]

This is the same as doing this:

a = [
    [15, 64, 2],
    [15, 64, 2],
    [15, 64, 2]
]

Same applies to the strings. If the first example does indeed only print a single number, then that would be a bug. However, I just tested this on our development build and the retail version and both are working as we'd expect. I'm not sure why you got a readout of just a single number..

Yes you are right, I should have done more testing Yes in the fuze help menu the declaration is like that :

array a[3]

a[0] = 15
a[1] = 64
a[2] = 2

It is the reflex of c ++ ... In c++ you can set all your array in one line

@EvanTropFun You can declare this in one line in fuze too!

a = [15, 64, 2]

The Help tutorial for Arrays does show the first, long method first just for clarity. Below that is a shorthand declaration. Both of the below examples produce the same result:

Eg 1:

array answers[4]
answers[0] = "It is certain!"
answers[1] = "It does not look good..."
answers[2] = "You might be in luck!"
answers[3] = "Definitely not"

Eg 2:

answers = [
    "It is certain!",
    "It does not look good...",
    "You might be in luck!",
    "Definitely not"
]

This one could be declared on one line too:

answers = ["It is certain!", "It does not look good...", "You might be in luck!", "Definitely not"]

@Dave Ok I will remember this syntax Thanks you !

@EvanTropFun Well I obviously didn't!
