ArrayNew Function |  |
Create an uninitialized array with the specified number of elements and dimensions.
Namespace: XSharp.RT
Assembly: XSharp.RT (in XSharp.RT.dll) Version: 2.21
SyntaxRemarks
In X#, there are several ways to create an array:
Declare an array using a declaration statement such as LOCAL or STATIC.
Create an array using a PRIVATE or PUBLIC statement.
Assign a literal array to an existing variable.
Use the ArrayNew() function.
ArrayNew() has the advantage that it can create arrays within expressions or code blocks. You can also use the ArrayBuild() function to create empty arrays, the ArrayCreate() function to create one-dimensional arrays, or ArrayInit() to create initialized arrays.

Examples
This example creates a one-dimensional array of five elements using the ArrayNew() function, then shows the equivalent action by assigning a literal array of NIL values:
This example shows three different statements which create the same multidimensional array:
This example creates a multidimensional array:
X#
1LOCAL aArray AS ARRAY 2aArray := ArrayNew(5) 3aArray := {NIL, NIL, NIL, NIL, NIL}
X#
1aArray := ArrayNew(3, 2) 2aArray := {{NIL, NIL}, {NIL, NIL}, {NIL, NIL}} 3aArray := {ArrayCreate(2), ArrayCreate(2), ArrayCreate(2)}
X#
1aArray := ArrayNew(3, 2, 5)
