Please excuse me if I've posted this request to the wrong list. I really did spend some time in trying to find a FPC list for simple coding questions. Sorry.
I have a set of record types defined and want to create an initialized constant and an array constant with values. Occasionally I find that I just cannot get the structure of the constants written properly and the compiler whines at me until I throw my hands in the air. I'd really appreciate it if someone could show me what I'm not able to see for myself. {The types are:} Type TFloat = Double; TPoint2D = record x, y:TFloat; end; TSegment2D = array [1..2] of TPoint2D; TSlabel = string[5]; TSegLabID = record slabel : TSlabel; segmentNo : integer; end; TSrecord = record sSegLabID : TSegLabID; segment : TSegment2D; end; TLSegment = record Srecord : TSrecord; trueLP : TPoint2D; end; TexistingLines5 = array[0..4] of TLSegment; {Then the hard part:} Const { one wee little one } LSegmentNull : TLSegment = (Srecord:(sSegLabID:(sLabel:''; segmentNo:maxlongint) ); segment:((x:maxlongint;y:maxlongint), (x:maxlongint;y:maxlongint))); trueLP:(x:maxlongint;y:maxlongint)); { an array of five of the little blighters } CexistingLines : TexistingLines5= ( (Srecord:(sSegLabID:(sLabel:'0';segmentNo:0));segment:((x:0.5;y:0.5),(x: 3.5;y:1.7));trueLP:(x:0.5;y:0.5)), (Srecord:(sSegLabID:(sLabel:'1';segmentNo:1));segment:((x:1.0;y:4.0),(x: 5.8;y:2.8));trueLP:(x:1.0;y:4.0)), (Srecord:(sSegLabID:(sLabel:'2';segmentNo:2));segment:((x:1.5;y:3.0),(x: 6.2;y:2.4));trueLP:(x:1.5;y:3.0)), (Srecord:(sSegLabID:(sLabel:'3';segmentNo:3));segment:((x:2.3;y:4.3),(x: 6.8;y:4.7));trueLP:(x:2.3;y:4.3)), (Srecord:(sSegLabID:(sLabel:'4';segmentNo:4));segment:((x:2.5;y:0.3),(x: 6.8;y:4.7));trueLP:(x:2.5;y:0.3)) ); Can anyone save me from my misery?
