[thelist] ASP Array Question

[Warden, Matt]

On Nov 30, Josh Feingold had something to say about [thelist] ASP Array Question

You realize arrays are 0-based, right? In other words, the first item is
myArray(0) not myArray(1).

You sure? How are you spitting it back out to test it? Or... are you
getting an error?

Well, that makes no sense. After x=2, you will have gone beyond the bounds
of the array and all the way to second_array(10, 3)

>However this seems to work:

Hmmm... I'd be interested in how you are determining whether it works or
not.

Not true.

Let me see what you're using to test these.
