String byte arrays

Strings can be used as byte variable arrays. Array elements are unsigned bytes and can hold

positive values between 0 and 255. Strings used as byte arrays cannot store negative values.

string myByteArray[10]

The individual elements of this string may be accessed by

myByteArray[0] = 5

which will load the number 5 into the first element of the array. The elements of the 10 byte

array are numbered 0 to 9. Note that the size of the index is checked at run time, not compile

time.

string myByteArray[10]

var idx

var x

myByteArray[idx] = 5

x = myByteArray[idx]

The runtime module will check the value in idx is within the range for the string. Outside of this

limit the instruction will do nothing in the first case and load x with zero in the second.
