Hi everyone,

Currently I am using a 3D array variable in Pascal language. Can the types of declaration in each dimensional be different. For eg, a 3D variable was declared as

Value : array[0..2, 0..3, 0..5] of longint.

And now I use it as below:

Value [A, B, C] := number;

My question is, for eg, can A be declared as int, B declared as int, and C declared as longint? Since the Value array was declared as longint, A, B and C should also ONLY declared as longint?

Thanks in advance for answering my question.

 

Actually neither A, B, or C are longint. The longint is the value of the array and it has nothing to do with the types of A, B, and C. For A, B, and C even a shortint would do.

I hope I understand your question correctly.

 

Thanks for answering, so it means that A, B and C can be a string or any types?

 

String - no, but shortint, int, and longint should work.

 

Been a while since I did any Pascal - but don't you want an array of record (eq. to a struct in C)?

 

I don't quite know how to use a struct in C, can you please give me the example base on my example above?
