Hi kermess,

Welcome on board - good to see someone from Spain on here!

Hopefully Geoff will see your post and he will send you the necessary info. It is not really correct for anyone else to send you the Hex file or documentation.

Therefore I will drop Geoff a quick line to see if he is ok to send you the Hex file & manual.
We are currently on Beta 16.

Hope to speak soon . . .

Regard,
Phil

kermess said Good morning.
I would like to participate in the beta testers.
I have a programmer PICKIT3 and several pieces of PIC32MX150F128B.
It is possible that I can provide sufficient documentation and software to get started.
Regards
And thank you very much.

Hi David, you need to send me an email with this request and I will send you everything. My address is below.

Hi All,
I have Micromite ver4.5b15 (44 pin Pic) and I have problem with definition of my own functions, there is simple one:

function square(a)
square = a*a
end function

print square(3)
------------------------------
result:
Error: Array must be dimensioned first

Any help?

Hi ztoti,

I have just run this on my 44-pin MicroMite (Beta 16) and no problem - it works 100%

This should also work in Beta 15 as Geoff only made an IR code change between the two versions.

Try typing NEW and enter in the following:

? square(3)
end

function square(a)
square = a*a
end function

Update us with your outcome!

ztoti,

I just managed to recreate the error BUT only when I make a typo error.

So please check that the spelling of your function name matches with the function name used in your code. Any difference and the code will give the 'array' error.

Regards,
Phil

So why are you using square(3) ?
Square(3) this would need to be the forth element of an array
Why not just Print Square ?

Hi jman,

If you look a little more at what ztoti is doing, he is trying to write a function; (otherwise you are correct in what you say).

I believe he has made a typo error i.e. not using identical spellings, and hence MMBasic is thinking he wants an array element returned and hence he gets the message he is seeing.

Are you able to try his code that he posted above on your MicroMite? If so please let us know if it worked for you (he is trying to print Square(3) to return '9')

Regards,

WW

The problem seems to be that a function cannot be declared on the first line of a program.

Cut and pasted to a new program this failed:

function square(a)
square = a*a
end function

print square(3)

But this worked:

function square(a)
square = a*a
end function

print square(3)

The only difference is the blank line at the start of the second code snippet.

I used MMEdit to test the code but after the second code worked I used the inbuilt editor to delete the first line. The code then failed again.
I think it can be called a bug.

Tested with beta 15

Isn't it "Normal" coding practise, to declare subs, interrupts and functions at the END of the listing, not at the top?

I tend to layout my code these days as:

Constants, strings, arrays, tick timers
.
.
.
MAIN CODE LISTING
.
.
.
Subs, Interrupts, Gosubs, Functions

But that is just me.

Normal, Yes.
But not 'required' for MM Basic.
Some Basics are strict about the order and will require a DECLARE statement before being called if the function is after the calling code.
Others are like MM Basic and don't care.

You just beat me to it jman - tried in editor on Beta16.

I agree with Grogster about code layout BUT not everyone will declare subs & functions at the end of their code.

For this reason I say this is definitely a bug!

Over to Geoff to confirm . . . .

Thank you TassyJim,
You are right, the first line must be blank.
