Hello,
I was just experimenting with arrays and noticed that after ths code:

Code:

var array_test[2][9];
array_test[1][1]= 1;
array_test[2][10]=4;

The engine still works with fine with this,but I would expect an error, isn't the array out-of-bounds at [2][10]? Why will it still accept data at that location?

Lite-C doesn't have bounds checking, so by writing to invalid indices adjacent memory is overwritten.
This can cause random crashes (depending on what is overwritten).
