Total of array values

Erich — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:26:40 GMT

Ok, I am feeling brain dead at the moment..

Does anyone have a clean method for getting the sum total of all the values in an array?

For example if you a have a 3 dimension array with values of 2'-0": 1'-4": 2'-3" I need the result of 5'-7"

Not sure what you mean by "clean", Erich. Do you want something more than just a loop, iterating through the indices and summing things up?

Cheers,
Karl

PS I've been brain dead for two days, so can commiserate. 😉

dim var[3][4]

result=0
for i=1 to vardim1(var)
for j=1 to vardim2(var)
result=result+var
next j
next i

print result
text2 0,0,result

Thanks guys. My new son is making sure I can't think straight anymore and I couldn't figure out how to get my loop to work right. Frank hit it right on the nose. I just needed the dummy variable to be the place holder in the loop.
