argument in function

argument in function - 09/22/11 18:26

hi,

here is my code :

Quote:
function mfj(a)
{
   if (a==0)
   {
      ja1+=a;ja2+=a;ja3+=a;ja4+=a;ja5+=a;ja6+=a;ja7+=a;ja8+=a;ja9+=a;ja10+=a;
   }
}

it would be nice if i could write it easier..
i know use simple argument, but its a little more complicated here.

for automate the jaX+=a list, i could do smt like

Quote:
i=0;
while (i<=10)
{
   ja(i)+=a;i++;
} 
but it can't work this way.. right ?
does anyone have a solution for do this thing ? (like the second quote but working)

thanks

Reconsider if you really don't want to use an array in this case.

you can do it like this

Code:
var ja[10];
...
i=0;
while (i<10) // another thing: This has to be i<10 not i<=10
{
   ja[i] +=a;
   i++;
}


you could also do it with for(){} ...but this should work, too

but in your first code:
if(a == 0) [...] ja1 += a; [...] - does this really make sense?!

and be a bit careful...
the first var in this array is ja[0] - not ja[1]

Oh, i see.. the array was the solution.
I'm so dumb.. i use array for all my "gauge" like "chronograph" but I didnt use them for this case..

First I thought it couldnt work because i needed to do the same thing with
ja1.visible=on;ja2.visible=on;ja3.visible=on;ja10.visible=on; and I think its not that simple in this case, but this is another problem.
I hope i will find a solution with that way.

edit : looks unaccessible with strings instead of variables smirk

Anyway, i'll try it right now and i guess there will be no problem.
Thanks for your 2 answers and for the detailed code and the tip.

Excuse to ask again for help, but i need to do the same thing, instead of

Quote:
ja1+=a;ja2+=a;ja3+=a;


its

Quote:
ja1.visible=on;ja2.visible=on;ja3.visible=on;


Its more complicated since its not only variable.. and all the "ja" are panels.. I can't make an array of panels.
Can anyone tell me the method i have to look for ?

thanks

You sure can create an array of panels like you can with every data type. What makes you think that its not possible?

I thought it was more complicated than "simple" variable since it has pos_x, pos_y, layer, bmap and flags.
But if you say so, I have to utilize this way.
I see a last difficulty but I'll try to advance with it for now.
Thanks for your answer

Hi again,
I advanced a bit, now i have this :

Quote:
TEXT string_array = // create an array of string with a text
{
strings = 20;
string = ("j1","j2", "j3", "j4");
layer=15;
flags = VISIBLE;
}
which is an array of string.
now i need it to work :

Quote:
string_array.string[0].visible=off;

but it don't.

2 questions :
- Is this the good way for doing an array of string ?
- If yes, can i have a tip for make the last quote work ?

thanks

Okay:
1: You create a text with 20 strings an you initialize only the first 4. Thats bad.
2: You can make a TEXT object visible or not, but not each single string in it. To do so you need an array of TEXT and not only one TEXT object.

That's not correct, there's a function esp. for this purpose:
txt_set(in)visible(TEXT* text,var index number of string starting at 0);

padmalcom => thanks for the advice
superku => thanks for the advice/correction, I will try to advance with it but it looks complicated.

Maybe I will finish by simply put all the j1.visible=off;j2.visible=off;j3.visible=off; [...] j50.visible=off; If I don't succeed i think it will be a lot more accessible.

have you had a look at draw_text()?

Re: argument in function - 09/26/11 00:00

Just looked at it in the manual,
but I don't need to just draw a text. Thanks anyway, maybe I will need it some day.
By the way, i found a "concrete" example of the function of superku and its more explicite in practice.

edit : just wait.. is the function of superku just for render a text visible or not ? omg I'm lost for now maybe i'll take a break.

re-edit : I was trying to pass by a string in order to put the name of a panel and render it visible or not by adding .visible=off;
I take a break.
