Arrays

Basics

Arrays are ordered lists of values and can hold values of any type, including numbers, strings, and other arrays.

Please note that using big arrays will significantly increase the size and memory usage of your program, and both are quite limited for MagiScript. If you need more than a few tens of elements, you should use Uint8Array or our database feature (which will be implemented later).

Creating an Array

To create an array you can use the following syntax:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, "four", true];

This creates an array called myArray, which contains the values 1, 2, 3, "four", and true.

Accessing Array Elements

You can access elements in an array using the square bracket notation:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, "four", true];

console.log(myArray[0]); // Output: 1
console.log(myArray[3]); // Output: four

In the above example, we access the first element of the array using myArray[0], and the fourth element using myArray[3].

Length of an Array

Arrays have a length property, which returns the number of elements in the array:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, "four", true];

console.log(myArray.length); // Output: 5

In the above example, we access the length property of the myArray array using myArray.length.

Modifying Array Elements

You can modify elements in an array using the square bracket notation as well:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, "four", true];

myArray[1] = "two";

console.log(myArray[1]); // Output: two

In the above example, we modify the second element of the myArray array by setting it to "two" using myArray[1].

Iterating Over the Elements of an Array

You can use a for loop to iterate over every element of an array:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, "four", true];

for (let index = 0; index

Conclusion

Arrays in MagiScript are similar to arrays in JavaScript. They are created using square brackets, and you can access elements using the square bracket notation. They also have a length property, which returns the number of elements in the array. At this time, there are no other methods available for arrays in MagiScript.
