Doubt of variables

[DavidReyes2250]

Hello, I need to know what this type of variable is for and what it is used for or if it has the same use as a variable like "$1000", "[email protected]", "$VARIABLE"; and it is this type of variables for example:

 

- $9626 ($ 9602,2i)

- $2450 ($ 9616,12s)

What your looking at are variables arranged in an array so they can be indexed. Yes, they have the same general use rules as any other global or local variable. You can probably find more detailed info on arrays in the local tutorials, but here's the short version.

 

2i: An array with 2 elements of integers. Something like 4f would be an array of 4 floats. These are easy to work with as they are always 4 bytes in length. 

• $9626 is the first element of the array an can be hard coded as $9626[0] or indexed as $9626($9602,2i) when $9602 == 0. 
• $9627 is the second element of the array an can be hard coded as $9626[1] or indexed as $9626($9602,2i) when $9602 == 1.

12s: An array with 12 elements of short strings - usually 7 bytes plus a null terminator (00). 8 bytes, two variables in length, so

• s$2450 is the first element of the array and can be hardcoded as s$2350[0] or indexed as $2450($9616,12s) when $9616 == 0.
• s$2452 is the second element of the array and can be hardcoded as s$2350[1] or indexed as $2450($9616,12s) when $9616 == 1.

The index can be a global or local variable, your examples just happened to be globals.

The index should always be positive and limited to the size of the array.

Local variables can be used to form an array as well, but has restricted use in cleo scripts due to the limited local variables available to scripts.
