Arrays with More than Two Dimensions

Although Liberty BASIC only allows arrays with one or two dimensions, arrays with three or more dimensions can be easily simulated. To simulate an array of 10 by 10 by 10, it is possible to stack the third dimension on top of the second:

'create an array big enough to hold 10x10x10 elements

dim myArray$(10, 100)

'set a value in the array in 3 dimensions

call setMyArray$ 5, 6, 7, "Here I am!"

'now fetch and print out the value

print getMyArray$(5, 6, 7)

end

sub setMyArray$ x, y, z, value$

myArray$(x, y + z * 10) = value$

end sub

function getMyArray$(x, y, z)

getMyArray$ = myArray$(x, y + z * 10)

end function
