I recall that Visual Basic has UBound function that returns upper
bound of a multi-dimensional array:
Dim a(100, 5, 4) As Byte
UBound(a, 1) -> 100
UBound(a, 2) -> 5
UBound(a, 3) -> 4
Works for single-dimensional arrays, too:
Dim b(8) As Byte
UBound(b) -> 8
I brought a point that VB has a UBound function that does exactly what
opDollar is supposed to do, so something like opUpperBound() might fit.
Finally, a viable alternative to opDollar! I could live with
opUpperBound.
<nitpick>
VB's ubound doesn't do exactly the same thing as $; in your code snippet
b(0)
b(8)
are both valid elements.
Does opUpperBound imply an opLowerBound?
In VB you can declare things like
dim a(20 to 100, 5, 1 to 4) as Byte
LBound(a,1) -> 20
Yep. Visual Basic. Awesome language. *Cough*
Lower bound is always 0 in D, unlike VB where is can take an arbitrary
value. As such, there is no need for opLowerBound in D.
