[TIB] Re: Question
Ah, I see what you want. I think that a list would do exactly what you
want. Basically, a list is a bunch of variables that have an index
[which is what you were trying to use "X" to represent].
If you know exactly how many different variables that you want, then
your code should look like this:
:[number of variables you want]->dim(L1)
:[begin loop]
:X+1->X
:Y->L1(X)
:[end loop]
Do NOT use Goto / Lbl loops in TIBasic. These commands are really poorly
suited for looping, as they lead to memory leaks and other problems, not
to mention they are much slower than a Repeat( or For(. In general, try
to avoid using Goto / Lbl commands in TIBasic at all costs, they really
aren't very well implemented, and are often used improperly.
