Erase
Erase arrays
Description
Erase reinitializes fixed-size arrays, and releases memory allocated for dynamic-array storage. The required component, arrays, is a comma separated list of one or more (up to 7) array variables.
A faster way to do this is to simply force the recreation of the array:
myArray = []
Example (Basic)
Rem Erase Example
'Erase reinitializes arrays
Dim Children(3)
Children(0) = "Eric"
Children(1) = "Kenny"
Children(2) = "Kyle"
Children(3) = "Stan"
PrintArray Children, 4
Erase Children
PrintArray Children, 4
Function PrintArray(arr, elements)
Dim i
For i = 1 to elements
Print "#" & i&":","("&arr(i-1)&")"
Next
PRINT
End Function
Example (JavaScript)
// Erase Example
/* Erase reinitializes arrays */
Erase = function(arr) {
var i;
for (i=0; i<arr.length; ++i) {
arr[i]='';
}
}
PrintArray = function(arr, elements) {
var i;
for (i=0; i<elements; ++i) {
NSB.Print("#" + i + ": (" + arr[i] + ")");
}
NSB.Print();
}
var Children=new Array(3);
Children[0] = "Eric";
Children[1] = "Kenny";
Children[2] = "Kyle";
Children[3] = "Stan";
PrintArray(Children, 4);
Erase(Children);
PrintArray(Children, 4);
Output
#1: (Eric) #2: (Kenny) #3: (Kyle) #4: (Stan) #1: () #2: () #3: () #4: ()
