2 Dimensional Arrays

[TemplarXB]

Can Atari BASIC READ DATA statements into a 2-Dimensional Array?

 

10 DIM A(5,5)

20 FOR B = 1 to 5

30 FOR C = 1 to 5

40 READ A(B,C)

50 NEXT C

60 NEXT B

70 DATA 1,2,0,4,3... etc

 

It gives me an error message on the ( in line 40

In Atari BASIC, as I recall, you can't READ directly into an array.  Try

 

40 READ X

45 A(B,C)=X

Have you tried loops of 0 to 4?

David_P - That worked perfectly! 

 

Wrathchild - I had tried that earlier and got the same error.    I was resorting to manually assigning variable values to each of the array locations.  David_P's way works the way I was trying to build the table.

 

Thank you both for the help.
