Struct

Definition

Struct <struct name>

[Members]

End

Structs are datatypes, able to contain variables of all datatypes.

To address a member of a struct, use the "." operator: <structname>.<membername>. Like all datatypes, one can have a whole range of them, as displayed in the example (also see Array).

There are two ways to fill a struct on declaration:

• Per member
• Afterwards, like Arrays.

See the examples on how to do it.

Example

Structs can be handy for many aspects of programming.

Grouping of variables

This is for clarity and to avoid colliding variable names.

Struct Fileinfo
    String name;
    String path;
End

Note that the struct fileinfo is a predefined global variable.

Maybe you want to group some other data, like settings of the screen:

Struct Window
    int width = 320;
    int height = 200;
    int depth = 8;
End

or (using other initializing syntax):

Struct Window
    int width;
    int height;
    int depth;
End = 320,200,8;

This example can also be done by defining your own type.

Multiple identical data groups

Struct Ship[9]
    int x;
    int y;
    int speed;
    int angle;
End

There are 10 'Ship's now. The data can be accessed like:

Ship[0].speed++;
Ship[8].angle = 0;
