Bound

Syntax

Variable = Bound (Variable)

Overview

The Bound function returns the size of a standard variable, in bytes - 1. If used with an array, it returns the amount of elements in the array - 1.

Example

' Create a loop for the amount of elements in an array
'
  Device = 18F26K40
                                ' Tell the compiler what device to compile for
  Declare Xtal = 16
                           ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz
  Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600 ' Choose the Baud rate for HRsoutLn
  Dim WordArray[10] as Word
                                ' Create an unsigned Word array variable
  Dim bIndex as Byte
                                ' Create a Byte variable

WordArray = 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
For bIndex = 0 To Bound(WordArray)
  HRsoutLn Dec bIndex, "=", Dec WordArray[Index]
Next
                             ' Loop until all elements scanned
