For i As Integer = 1 To 1024 Len(my_string) (otherwise, lots of ghost null characters are counted from the the string end index up to 1024 index) Your first code displays in the first line the value corresponding to: 1024 - Len(my_string) = 1024 - 156 = 868 What exactly do you want to display on th...

For long strings (greater than 256 characters), where execution time becomes more noticeable, it is advantageous to filter certain characters only when displaying counters: Dim As String my_string = "screen 13:color 15,3:cls:line(100,100)-(150,150),,bf :dim as integer a = 10 : b,c,d : "&qu...

In your case of member data fields ( 'Integer' and 'String' ), defining a copy-constructor by the user is useless because the compiler can itself manage the copy of these member data fields between 2 instances. In the case of member var-len string or member var-len array for example, it itself gener...

If the topic "constructors, copy constructor, copy assignment, destructor" interests you especially, you can start by reading in the Programmer's Guide : - first the User Defined Types / Constructors and Destructors (basics) page, - then the User Defined Types / Constructors, '=' Assignmen...

For more information on 'Enum' than on the ENUM page of the manual, see also the Constants and Enumerations page of the Programmer's Guide.

In an 'Enum' structure, symbol names are encoded using the signed 'Integer' data type. So 2^32 or 2^64 different values are available for the 32-bit or 64-bit freeBASIC, respectively. But since multiple symbol names in an 'Enum' structure can be associated with the same value, the number of symbol n...

In FreeBASIC, constructors, destructor, properties, member operators, member procedures, must all be declared inside the 'Type...End Type' structure, but must all be defined with their code body in outside this structure (this may perhaps change in the future).

Note:
You can add the code tags by pressing the "</>" button on the selected code body.

For example: Type Superhero _name As String _powerLevel As Integer Declare Constructor () Declare Constructor (names As String, powerLevel As Integer) Declare Constructor (other As Superhero) Declare Function Calculate(value2 As Integer) As Integer Declare Destructor () Declare Operator Cast () As S...

There is no size limitation for an 'Enum' structure in FreeBASIC.

If I knew what you wanted to do with the second 'Superman' type in addition to the first 'SuperHero' type, maybe I could help you Yesss feel free to Help :-D I wrote that I could help you only if I understood what you want to do with the second 'Superman' type compared to the first 'Superhero' type.

If I knew what you wanted to do with the second 'Superman' type in addition to the first 'SuperHero' type, maybe I could help you?

- Instead of defining a 'cleanup()' method, you can define a 'destructor()' which will be automatically called before the object is destroyed. - The 'calculate()' method does not use any member fields. So you can declare it as static and simply call it on the type name and not necessarily on the nam...

New update: Operator [] (String index) ..... Usage: result = lhs [ rhs ] ..... Parameters: lhs : The string (a string reference, not a string returned as local copy) lhs : The string variable or a string reference (not for example a constant or a string returned as a local copy). rhs : A zero-based ...
