Created page with "= Action = This option specifies the lower boundary of all arrays. Action =

This option specifies the lower boundary of all arrays.

 

 

= Syntax =

CONFIG BASE= value

 

 

= Remarks =

By default the first element of an array starts at 1. With CONFIG BASE=0 you can override this default so that all arrays start at 0.

In some cases it is simpler that elements start at 0.

A constant named _BASE reflects the setting. You can not change the BASE at run time.

 

[[File:Notice.jpg|left|Notice.jpg]]When you change this setting in existing code, you need to alter your code. For example when you used this code:

Dim a(10) as byte : a(10) = 10

And you set CONFIG BASE=0, it will mean that element 10 is invalid.

 

While in QB an additional element is created, this is not a good idea in bascom because it will require more space.

 

 

= See also =

NONE

 

 

= Example =

 <source lang="bascomavr">
CONFIG BASE=0
Dim ar(10) as byte , j as byte
For j=0 to 9
ar(j)=j
Next
</source> {{Languages}}
