5 Storing and Retrieving Test Results Chapter
Using Arrays to Store Test Results
Data types can be stored in two ways:
• Scalar values (that is, a single number such as 9 or (32, @10))
-OR-
• Arrays from 1 to 10 dimensions.
Indexing for arrays is zero- based in VEE, and brackets are used
to indicate the position of the array element. For example, if the
array A holds the elements [4, 5, 6], then
A[0] = 4, A[1] = 5, and A[2] = 6
The syntax for arrays is as follows:
The syntax to access elements of an array can be used in the
Formula object or any expression field, such as those in the
To/From File object.
NOTE
The overview of VEE data types is described in the Chapter , “Analyzing
and Displaying Test Data.”
Table 1 6 Syntax for Arrays
Syntax Element Description
colon Used to indicate a range of elements. For instance,
A[0:1] = [4, 5] in the array above.
asterisk (*) a wildcard to specify all elements from a particular array
dimension.
A[*] returns all elements of array A.
commas In the subarray syntax, commas are used to separate array
dimensions. If
B is a two-dimensional array with three
elements in each dimension, B[1,0] returns the first
element in the second row of
B.
