Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi

Conscious of being pointed back to the manual (in fairness - rightly so), I am trying to get the MAX value of an array dimension -- not the whole array.

For example if I have d(100,100) -- is it possible to finesse MATH(MAX)) to just report the largest value in the first (or second) dimension as opposed to the array over all?

I know I can iterate to find the value, but if there is a built in function - thinking MATH(MAX d(1)) << to find the max of the first dimension (or should that be MATH (MAX d(0)) ??

Cheers
Nim

No probs - just checking I wasn't missing something ;-)

MMBasic does not support any kind of array slicing; believe me, I tried really hard to see if it was possible. At least we can pass whole arrays to a subroutine or function without specifying the number of dimensions or their sizes.
