BobDevries said We already have multi-dimension arrays
However, I can't seem to use "NEXT y,x" as is usual in most BASICs.
Regards,

so it is starting to appear to be a bug, and is not an enhancement?

Cheers Don...

Nope - This would be an enhancement request.

The manual clearly states that MMBasic supports the "NEXT x" format only.

Hi Don.

This is not a request for multi-dimensional arrays - they are already there (a max of 8 dimensions).

The request is for an enhancement for the NEXT command associated with the FOR loop. It is to enable nested FOR loops to have one common NEXT command.

eg

10 FOR i = 1 TO 10
20 FOR j = 1 TO 10
30 PRINT i, j, i + j
40 NEXT j
50 NEXT i
60 END

changes to:

10 FOR i = 1 TO 10
20 FOR j = 1 TO 10
30 PRINT i, j, i + j
40 NEXT i,j
50 END

Regards

Hi Sparkey,

You don't need to re-vote necessarily, but you can.

Not you, but others have requested that I add to the wish list, and some items never get a single vote. Go figure.

Cheers Don...

Thanks Sparkey, can any verify what Sparkey has said, and I'll remove the wish.

I am sure others may be covered by now also.

Just to remind users, the wish list is at:

For a summary of the differences between FAT 16 and FAT 32 (from a windoze perspective but still relevant) see FAT 16 vs FAT 32

Personally I prefer FAT 32.....

BobDevries said However, I can't seem to use "NEXT y,x" as is usual in most BASICs.

"NEXT y,x" should work. For example the following works as expected:

10 FOR i = 1 TO 4
20 FOR j = 1 TO 4
30 PRINT i * j
40 NEXT i, j

But, I admit that the manual does not document it. I will fix that in the next release.

It has been a while since I used nested for-next loops but shouldnt the internal loops be executed before the outer loops ?

What I mean is that line 40 should read as follows:

40 NEXT j, i

ie: do the J loops before the next lot of I loops otherwise the J loops wont get done till all the I's have completed.

Sorry, you are quite right. It should have been NEXT j, i

Ok, got my SM1 today (thanks Don! - oh, and the wife loved the kuala...).
It does indeed support multi-dimensional arrays - and nested loops.

Suppose I should probably "read" the manual as opposed to just looking at it.

Geoff, awesome job with mmbasic!

Great Gary,

I send the genuine Australian (Chinese

) Koalas out with virtually every overseas order. Been doing it for many years. Mixed reaction, but always nice to get good feed back.

And I'll delete the nested loops from the wish list also, as it is obviously working OK.

Cheers Don...
