Free Pascal Tutorial 9 - Arrays - Lazarus

Arrays hold lists of variables of the same data type. When there are large lists of variables and data, it is easier to contain the data in an array than have large amounts of separate variables to hold the data. Think of an array as a placeholder for piece of data.


The syntax of the array is:

Name_Of_Array : array[range] of datatype;

For example if we wanted to create an array that will hold five human first names the syntax will look like this:

FirstName : array[1..5] of string;

Thanks man! Awesome tutorial. Is there any way to initialize an array without using assignments? I want to define an array much like this:

p: array[0..39] of byte = {1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0.. } etc.

Basically I want to have a psuedo 2D array for a graphic in my program. It's stored as one dimensional, but gets parsed with for loops.
