eberon-array-initializers.md 705 B
Array initializers create array with specified elements as a shortcut instead of declaring array variable and initialize each element separately.
Syntax
"[" expression {, expression} "]"
Example
MODULE test;
CONST a = [1, 2, 3];
PROCEDURE passArray(a: ARRAY OF INTEGER);
END;
BEGIN
passArray(a);
passArray([123, 456]);
END test.
Semantics
- all expressions used in initializers list must have the same type
- if string literal is used as expression then element's type is [[STRING|eberon-strings]]
- array initializers can be used to define a constant in CONST section
- array initializers can be used wherever constant expression of corresponded array's type can be used
