ERASE

Reinitializes the elements of a static array or deallocates dynamic arrays.

Syntax

ERASE array [ , array ]…

Comments

array is the name of the array to reinitialize or deallocate.

For static numeric arrays, ERASE sets each element to zero. For static string arrays, ERASE sets each element to null.

For dynamic arrays, ERASE frees the memory used by the specified arrays.

Example

DIM a(100)
FOR i = 1 TO 100
  a(i) = i
NEXT i
ERASE a     ' Reinitialize A
FOR i = 1 TO 100
  PRINT a(i)
NEXT i
