Dynamic Array declaration

[desert]

Hi,

I would need to define the size of my array by an external variable, is that possible? Example:

external int Size;

...

double Orders[Size];

When compiling it fails on the array declaration: "integer number expected"

Thanks in advance!

Try array resize after you have declared the array, there is a section in the Documentation all about Arrays . . .

Yes.

extern int size=100;

double orders[];  // an empty array, a pointer to nowhere.

bool abort=false;

int val=0;
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int init(){

   val = ArrayResize(orders,size);  // allocate memory to the array so the pointer is no longer null.
   if( val<0 ){
      abort=true;
      Comment("It didn't work");
      return(0);
   }
   
   return(0);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int start(){
   if( abort )
      return( 0 );
      
   Comment("Success! " + val);
   return(0);
}
