Delphi Array

[Owam]

Good day, i am getting an error from this piece of code, can you please assist. Error says "Number of element differs from declarations "

Your assistance will be appreciated. thank you

here is the code:

unit Unit1;

interface

type
TUnit1 = record
ServerName :char;
ServerPort :integer;
ActiveFlag :boolean;
end;
const
Servers : array[boolean] of string =
('inf1', 'inf_15','inf_1 8',
'inf_22', 'inf_21', 'inf_20',
'inf_23', 'inf_26', 'inf_25', 'inf_24');

If you want to index an array with a boolean type the array can have only two elements: one element for the 'false' index value and one for 'true'. You try to initialize it with ten elements; that's what the compiler is whining about.

kind regards,

Thank you for your response. I actually found a solution to my problem. it should be as follows:

type
TUnit1 = record
ServerName :string;
ServerPort :integer;
ActiveFlag :boolean;
end;
const
Servers : array[0..9] of TUnit1 =
((ServerName :'inf1', ServerPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_15',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_18',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false);
(ServerName :'inf_22', ServerPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_21',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_20',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false);
(ServerName :'inf_23',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_26',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_25',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false); (ServerName :'inf_24',Serve rPort :125, ActiveFlag :false) );

That makes sense: now you're indexing your array with an integer range 0 ... 9; you also changed the type of your array elements. Good luck.

kind regards,
