Array of range and enum
« on: September 24, 2023, 05:15:17 pm »
I want to make an array of all possible values of enum and range type, in an easy way, without loops. Something like the sample. Is there a way, as the sample does not work.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program Project1;
  2.  
  3. type
  4.   TEnum = (A, B, C, D);
  5.   TRange = 1..10;
  6.  
  7. var
  8.   EnumArray:array of TEnum=(Low(TEnum)..High(TEnum));
  9.   RangeArray:array of TRange=(Low(TRange)..High(TRange));
  10. begin
  11. end.

  1. type
  2.   TEnum = (A, B, C, D);
  3.   TRange = 1..10;
  4.  
  5. var
  6.   //EnumArray:array of TEnum=(Low(TEnum)..High(TEnum));
  7.   EnumArray:array[low(TEnum)..high(TEnum)] of Integer;
  8.   //RangeArray:array of TRange=(Low(TRange)..High(TRange));
  9.   RangeArray:array[low(TRange)..high(TRange)] of Integer;
  10.  
  11.   i: integer;
  12. begin
  13.   for i := integer(low(EnumArray)) to integer(high(EnumArray)) do begin
  14.     writeln('EnumArray[', i, '] = ', TEnum(i));
  15.   end;
  16.  
  17.   writeln;
  18.  
  19.   for i := low(RangeArray) to high(RangeArray) do begin
  20.     writeln('RangeArray[', i, '] = ', i);
  21.   end;
  22.  
  23.   readln;
  24. end.

Code: [Select]
EnumArray[0] = A
EnumArray[1] = B
EnumArray[2] = C
EnumArray[3] = D

RangeArray[1] = 1
RangeArray[2] = 2
RangeArray[3] = 3
RangeArray[4] = 4
RangeArray[5] = 5
RangeArray[6] = 6
RangeArray[7] = 7
RangeArray[8] = 8
RangeArray[9] = 9
RangeArray[10] = 10

But if you set enum type to: TEnum = (A, B, C=30, D)
Then you will have a problem

That is an interesting hack. Thank you.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   A:Array[TRange]of Integer;
  2.   B:Array[TENum] of integer;  
  3.

Yes it is more clear. Although I wished there was no need for a hack like this, still better than using a loop!

May I remind you, as it stands Okoba wants:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.         type
  2.                 enumeration = (A, B, C, D);
  3.         var
  4.                 field: array of enumeration;
  5.         begin
  6.                 field := [A, B, C, D];
  7.                 { which is shorthand for }
  8.                 setLength(field, 4);
  9.                 field[0] := A;
  10.                 field[1] := B;
  11.                 field[2] := C;
  12.                 field[3] := D;
  13.         end.
But without writing it out or populating said array with a for-loop.
Yours Sincerely
Kai Burghardt

You mean this in the VAr section?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   Z:Array[0..3]of TEnum =(A,B,C,D);        
  2.  
  3.  
or
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   Z:Array[TRange]of TEnum =(A,B,C,D);
  2.

This is not a hack. The index of a static array is either a range or an ordinal type.

I want to make an array of all possible values of enum and range type, in an easy way, without loops. Something like the sample. Is there a way, as the sample does not work.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program Project1;
  2.  
  3. type
  4.   TEnum = (A, B, C, D);
  5.   TRange = 1..10;
  6.  
  7. var
  8.   EnumArray:array of TEnum=(Low(TEnum)..High(TEnum));
  9.   RangeArray:array of TRange=(Low(TRange)..High(TRange));
  10. begin
  11. end.      

No, there is no way to do this at compile time except you write out all values as jamie showed. However you can create a generic function that does what you want, this way you only need to write this out only once:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program range;
  2.  
  3. {$mode objfpc}
  4.  
  5. type
  6.   TEnum = (A, B, C, D);
  7.   TRange = 1..10;
  8.  
  9. generic function GenerateRangeArray<T>: specialize TArray<T>;
  10. var
  11.   i: SizeInt;
  12. begin
  13.   SetLength(Result, Ord(High(T)) - Ord(Low(T)) + 1);
  14.   for i := 0 to High(Result) do
  15.     Result[i] := T(Ord(Low(T)) + i);
  16. end;
  17.  
  18. var
  19.   EnumArray:array of TEnum;
  20.   RangeArray:array of TRange;
  21. begin
  22.   EnumArray := specialize GenerateRangeArray<TEnum>;
  23.   RangeArray := specialize GenerateRangeArray<TRange>;
  24. end.

@PascalDragon I meant hack as the array key is the value, and not the array value. You got what I need with your sample code and that is what I want. Your way is cool too, although I wished for a way to define these ranges const or var just like as we define the TRange type how you can call open array parameter
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program Project1;
  2.  
  3.   procedure Test(A: array of Integer);
  4.   var
  5.     I: Integer;
  6.   begin
  7.     for I := Low(A) to High(A) do
  8.       WriteLn(A[I]);
  9.   end;
  10.  
  11. const
  12.   A: array of Integer = (1, 2, 3, 4);
  13. begin
  14.   Test(A[Low(A)..High(A)]);
  15.   Test(A[Low(A) + 1..High(A)]);
  16.   ReadLn;
  17. end.                        
  18.
