Code Snippets > Variables ( Created 23 April 2008 | Last Edited 23 April 2008) Nested Types Example by flying_cucco | No Votes Written in Cobra How to make types-within-types in Cobra -- this took me a while to figure out. Hopefully self explanatory if you are familiar with how the types work, with lists and pointers. program type foo = record value : integer endtype type bar = record foolist : list of foo endtype var barlist : list of bar fooptr : ^foo barptr : ^bar x, y : integer begin //make some foobars for x=0 to 2 barptr := newitem(barlist) for y=0 to 4 fooptr := newitem(barptr.foolist) fooptr.value := (x*10 + y) next next //loop through them and Write to debug console //debug must be enabled! loop barptr through barlist loop fooptr through barptr.foolist debugmsg(fooptr.value) endloop endloop end --> Latest Comments Posted : Wednesday, 23 April 2008, 12:30 flying_cucco Of course, they needn't be different types, you can nest the same type program type foobar = record foolist : list of foobar value : integer endtype var barlist : list of foobar fooptr : ^foobar barptr : ^foobar x, y : integer begin //make some foobars for x=0 to 2 barptr := newitem(barlist) for y=0 to 4 fooptr := newitem(barptr.foolist) fooptr.value := (x*10 + y) next next //loop through them and Write to debug console //debug must be enabled! loop barptr through barlist loop fooptr through barptr.foolist debugmsg(fooptr.value) endloop endloop end --> Posted : Wednesday, 23 April 2008, 15:34 codingmonkey Very interesting. Does Cobra utilize OOP? Posted : Monday, 12 May 2008, 12:44 HoboBen Thanks cucco! I keep forgetting the exact syntax, and I must have checked back to this page like a million times by now. Bookmarked!
