Hi everbody,
I have a question.
Is
Array vec1{10} $25. _TEMPORARY_;
ok? The array elements should have the length 25.
Bye, cons
Yes it is correct. Array of 10 character element whose length would be 25.
No DOT
Array vec1{10} $ 25 _TEMPORARY_;
Hi Ksharp,
You may be correct, but it also works with DOT.
Regards
Rahul
The $ 25 is saying character Length 25. So the period gets interpreted as a decimal in $ 25. and Length ignores decimal values. If you use Length x $ 25.3 the variable will have a length of 25.
