multi-line code ?

Areal Person

How do I do multiline code statments ?

I got this DAT block, I'm making a array

COL···· byte··· %1000000000000000, %0100000000000000, %0010000000000000, %0001000000000000,
··············· %0000100000000000, %0000010000000000, %0000001000000000, %0000000100000000,
··············· %0000000010000000, %0000000001000000, %0000000000100000, %0000000000010000,
··············· %0000000000001000, %0000000000000100, %0000000000000010, %0000000000000001,··

But this does not work ?

How do I do it as a multi-line, because 16 across is to much for one line of code.

Thanks,

what do you expect ? I'm a programmer.

Hi Areal,

The binary values you have there are words(16 bit) not bytes. So you'd do this:

COL word %1000000000000000, %0100000000000000, %0010000000000000, %0001000000000000
word %0000100000000000, %0000010000000000, %0000001000000000, %0000000100000000
word %0000000010000000, %0000000001000000, %0000000000100000, %0000000000010000
word %0000000000001000, %0000000000000100, %0000000000000010, %0000000000000001

Or if you really do want bytes, split up the values into 8 bits at a time.

Areal, For your example, you should follow CardboardGuru's advice. For other examples where this isn't feasible (say a really long string) you can end the line with { then start the next line with }. What this does is place the carriage return within a comment so the compiler sees the second line as a continuation of the first.

They would take up a lot less space if you write them in hex.

Of course, if you did that it may become more apparent that this series is hardly memorable enough to park in an array.

Or more politely, why bother putting these datum into an array when you can calculate it as (or more?)·quickly as you can look it up?

Ingenious!
