Re: Passing an Array to a function

["Bilo Selhi" <citadel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

sure you can pass and return arrays
byref.
here is a sample from their workshop.
the function call...
value1 = SortDown_a(MyArray,25);
it takes myarray sorts it and returns
it sorted. 
and the function itself...
Inputs: SortArray[size](NumericArrayRef), ArraySize(Numeric);
Variables: Hold(0);

SortDown_a = -1;

If MinList(size, ArraySize) > 1 AND ArraySize <= size Then Begin
     For value1 = 1 To ArraySize - 1 Begin
          If SortArray[value1] < SortArray[value1 + 1] Then Begin 
                Hold = SortArray[value1]; 
                SortArray[value1] = SortArray[value1 + 1];
                SortArray[value1 + 1] = Hold;
               value1 = 0;
         End;
     End;
End;

SortDown_a = 1;
