length_bool_array

This function calculates the length of an array of type BOOL. The length of an array is either the array length in the initial declaration of the array or, if the array has more elements than specified in the initial declaration, the actual number of elements in the array.

length_bool_array ( input_array )

The result of this function is of type NUMBER; the number of elements in the input_array.

The function has one parameter:

1. input_array, type BOOL; the array whose length will be determined.

Example

ARRAY BOOL test_array [1] 

ASSIGN test_array [1] := TRUE
ASSIGN test_array [2] := FALSE
ASSIGN test_array [3] := TRUE
ASSIGN test_array [4] := TRUE
ASSIGN test_array [5] := FALSE

NUMBER function_result 

ASSIGN function_result := length_bool_array (test_array) 

#
@(function_result)
#

Referencing an array element of an array that has been filled beyond its initial length will result in the creation of that element. The element will be created with a default value: 0 for NUMBER, "" for TEXT and FALSE for BOOL For instance the test IF testing[1] THEN FI will result in the creation of element 1 in array testing.
