Loading an Array

I would like to load an Array with values (the code below assigns a value to the s array(objData.s(1,0), then assigns this value to "XValue" which I want loaded into the array as separate points. I then want to view the high value & the low value of these 25 points within the array. How 2?


Dim MeasurePoint As Single
Dim XValue As Single

Dim MyArray(1 To 25)
For MeasurePoint = 1 To 25
MLString "VT 1,0,0,-1,0,0,CO"
XValue = objData.s(1, 0)
MyArray(MeasurePoint) = XValue
Next MeasurePoint



Dim HighRetrieval As Single
Dim LowRetrieval As Single
HighRetrieval = UBound(MyArray)
LowRetrieval = LBound(MyArray)

I don't know if I explained myself well, but the code as it currently is returns a value of "25" for the high and "1" for the low. I assume that my points are not loaded.

I could be way off on this, but doesn't UBound just return the index of the last number in the array? So if you've got 31 items declared Array(1 to 31) the UBound would return 31, not the actual item that's sittin in position 31

that's what I'm seeing. So how do get the high value in the array?

Just for clarity, do you want the highest value in the array or the last item? For instance, if 25 is the highest value in an array, but 10 is the last item, UBound would refer to the Index of 10.

I want the highest value, the 25, not the highest index (10).

Ok, here's what you need to do. Something like this:

VB Code:

Dim HighRetrieval as Integer
 
HighRetrieval = MyArray(0)
'sets the value of high retrieval to the first item
 
For i = 1 to UBound(MyArray)
    If MyArray(i) > HighRetrieval Then
        HighRetrieval = MyArray(i)
    End If
Next

HighRetrieval should hold the highest number in the array. Same technique for LowRetrieval only with <.

Thanks, I'll try that.
