array notation

[steven]

Hello,

I have an array declaration:

dim a(10) as string


To fill this array, I could use these lines:

a(0) = "x"
a(1) = "yy"
a(2) = "zzz"
....


but is there another notation instead of this to save some space?
Something like:

a = new array("x", "yy", "zzz", ...)


(offcourse the values "x", "yy", and "zzz", are simple examples)

Thanks,

Steven

You need to declare and array and then if you want to limit it for example
to 3 items (0,1,2) you need to do a redim preserve
for example:
Dim strArr As String() = {"hallo", "hey", "hoi"}
ReDim Preserve strArr(2)

this isn't possible:
Dim strArr(2) as string = {"hallo,"hey","hoi"}

Dim strArr As String() = {"hallo", "hey", "hoi"}
ReDim Preserve strArr(2)

You can skip 'ReDim Preserve strArr(2)' because 'strArr' is already a string
array with three elements. When using the array initializer syntax the
compiler will set the upper bound automatically.
