Re: Interesting shortcut syntax for filling arrays with common value: vByteSorted[0..255] := false;


Now we've got the correct comparison. Yours is shorter and yours is checked by the compiler. But: mine is all you got.

Fons.


Fair enough my syntax is still shorter:

S[0..79] := ' ';
// vs
FillChar(S, SizeOf(S), Ord(' '));

You must be God Allmighty. Not declaring vByteSorted and not using "begin" and "end".

Sometimes FillChar will do:

var S : array[0..79] of char;
begin
{ Set to all spaces }
FillChar(S, SizeOf(S), Ord(' '));
end;
Your 4 code lines, versus my 1 code line.

My one line is 75% more efficient than yours =D

Bye, Bye,
Skybuck ;)

One could simply write:

vByteSorted[0..255] := false;

Would be nice ! :)

Skybuck.
