Greetings to the list on a fine Sunday afternoon (should be outside enjoying it instead of hacking on a new project!).
I am having difficulty understanding the correct way to program with arrays in Gambas 3. The documentation has this warning notice: In Gambas 3, embedded arrays cannot be used as local variables anymore. But they can be public! This is from http://gambasdoc.org/help/lang/arraydecl?show&v3 The same page shows that local variables are declared as: (1) DIM Identifier AS [ NEW ] Datatype [ Array dimensions ... ] Embedded arrays are defined as being declared in this way: (2) [ STATIC ] { PUBLIC | PRIVATE } Identifier [ Array dimensions ... ] AS Native Datatype My difficulty is that I do not understand how an embedded array declared with syntax (2) can be taken for a local variable, which is declared with syntax (1). Is there some other non-technical meaning for "local variable" which is intended in the notice?
