I am currently trying to create a static vector that will be used to convert certain values based on the indices. The goal is to define and initialize this vector in a single line or a double line, as this approach would not only be more memory-efficient but also streamline the program’s flow.
The challenge is to avoid defining an array of set values one by one each time the submethod is called, enabling the static elements to be referenced without the need to build and destroy an array repeatedly.
Here are the approaches I’ve tried so far:
Approach 1: Direct Initialization During Declaration
namespace _Method {
method main() void {
long vector[3] = {1, 3, 5};
}
}
Error: Syntax errors related to array identifier and missing semicolons.
Approach 2: Using a Hypothetical set
Function
namespace _Method {
method main() void {
long vector[3];
set(vector, {1, 3, 5});
}
}
Error: set
is an undeclared identifier.
Approach 3: Inline Assignment with a create
Function
namespace _Method {
function create(long[] values) long[] {
long arr[3];
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
arr[i] = values[i];
}
return arr;
}
method main() void {
long vector[3] = create({1, 3, 5});
}
}
Error: Various syntax errors, including undeclared identifiers and missing symbols.
Approach 4: Using Braces Directly
namespace _Method {
method main() void {
long vector[] = {1, 3, 5};
}
}
Error: Similar syntax errors related to array declaration and initialization.
Approach 5: Loop Initialization (Fallback)
namespace _Method {
method main() void {
long vector[3];
long values[3] = {1, 3, 5};
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
vector[i] = values[i];
}
}
}
While this approach works, it defeats the purpose of achieving a concise one-line or two-line initialization.
I am seeking advice on whether a one-line or two-line vector initialization is possible in HSL with a different syntax or method. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
