Why does this script produce a out of range ?

   int array[]; 
   array[0]=1;

@whroeder1's is correct.

Based upon your prior post, perhaps you are confusing how indicators handle buffers (arrays to hold indicator values) and general arrays that you create for your own purposes.

Indicators handle the sizing of arrays (buffers) automatically.

In Scripts or EA's, you must set the dimension of the array yourself.

This can be a fixed amount

int array[4];

or you can use ArrayResize() to set the amount dynamically.

Hello,

Is it possible to handle exceptions with MQL5 like a out of range error?

Thanks,

Check the size using ArraySize() Before accessing or adding.

But honestly you really need to refactor your code if you need to handle out of range errors. Proper code does not produce these errors.
