Array Operations

The most common operation with arrays is indexing them.  That is, specifying an index in the square brackets following the array name, as in  values[count] or  grid[row,column].  

 

Raptor provides the following function for working with one-dimensional arrays.

 

Length_Of

 

Length_Of is a function that takes one argument, a one-dimensional array without any index or square brackets after the name.  It returns the highest index (which is also the number of elements) defined for the array.  Length_Of can also be used to determine the length of a string expression.

 

Example

 

For the following array, Length_Of(Scores) will return 4.
