Can someone please explan the difference between
Dim temp as String()
and
Dim temp() as String
in terms of syntax and practical usage? I thought I knew, but of late have
become confused due to reasons too complicated to go in here.
Will appreciate your inputs.

The obvious: the location of the parentheses.
and practical usage?
None.
Andrew
Basically it means :
- temp is an array of strings
- the temp array is holding strings
So this is two ways to tell the same thing. I tend to favor #2 as it is more
consistent with waht you do in your code i.e. temp(myIndex).

Fairly same. However you can get used to one of them depending on your
taste. Putting parantheses just after variable to declare array seems
more than the other decleration option on the net.
Thanks,

Onur,

Fairly? In my idea simple like Andrew wrote None

What do you want to tell with the last sentence?
Beside that it is not true, this behaviour is a language feature not a Net
feature.
Because that a lot of Islamitic countries use the Arabic language, does not
mean that every Islamatic country should do that.
The later sentence jmo.

I meant, you can use both and it depends on your taste, plus i did NOT
claim that is a .net feature, it's obvious that VB language allows 2
types of array declaration of strings.. And also i found more samples
that uses parantheses just after variable when declaring string
arrays.
Because that a lot of Islamitic countries use the Arabic language, does not
mean that every Islamatic country should do that.
Couldn't set up any relation between the topic and with that sentence
and i beleive it's not needed to extend issue with off-topic
statements.
The later sentence jmo.

Hello Anil ,
Dim temp() as String
is the classic VB syntax to declare an array
VB also supports
Dim temp as String()
This method is more intuitiv to programmers with a C background , this is
also a big advantage for coders who both use C# and VB
in early versions of VB.Net ( 2002 and i guess 2003 i believe , but i am not
sure ) there was a difference
Between the two the new method could not be used to declare and instantiate
the array in one line
Dim temp() as String ={"hello","worl d"} worked but Dim temp as
String()={"hell o","world"} did not work in early versions
Nowadays in VB.Net 2005 and 2008 both work the same so it becomes a mather
of taste wich one of the 2 you use
as you see the VB language also evolves in a forward kind of way :-)
I concur with Onur regarding his remark that you see more and more "Dim temp
as String()"in code examples on the net

Onur,

and i beleive it's not needed to extend issue with off-topic
statements.
This of topic sentence is completely yours.
However, I don't agree that it is off topic to use examples related to
natural languages, you know this is a language newsgroup.

I meant that off-topic statement which you posted:
"Because that a lot of Islamitic countries use the Arabic language,
does not
mean that every Islamatic country should do that. "
Seems you like making that kind of statements frequently as i came
across on that newsgroup, however it is not important, the thing which
i focused was the topic.(string arrays).
However thanks Michel for focusing on topic and explaining better what
i meant.

Maybe my english is too crippled (I'm Brazilian) but it seemed clear
in the original sentence that "net" in the phrase meant *the
Internet*, not Microsoft's .Net, in the sense that the poster sees *in
the Internet* more people using parenthesis in the variable name than
in the type name.

char s = "This string literal";

Both define a string literal. Both suppose to be read-only and not to be
modified according to Standard. And both have type of "const char *".
Right? But why does the compiler I am using allow s to be modified, instead
of generating compile error?

Hi,
I am trying to reassign an array of char to a string literal by
calling a function.
In the function I use pointer-to-pointer since I want to reassign the
"string array pointer" to the string literal.
But the second printf seems to give me garbage.
Any advise on what I am doing wrong?
Thanx

Good morning,
I have a quick question to clear up some confusion in my mind. I
understand that using a string literal in a declaration such as char
*p = "string literal" declares a pointer to memory holding the string
and the string might very well be held in read only memory.
However, I am sure that I read somewhere that the declaration char a
= "string literal", even though a is an array (and I understand the
differences between...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
