Hi.

I made an Array in LuaPlayer.

for i=0,3000 do		
Array&#91;i&#93; =&#123;&#125;
   for j=0,3000 do
     Array&#91;i&#93;&#91;j&#93; = 555555
   end
end

But if I start the program, then I get this error message

Code: Select all

not enough memory

Hmm... let's calculate how much memeory it needs.

Each element of the 2-D array needs 4 bytes to store a number. Hence, 3000 x 3000 x 4 = 36,000,000. That's a lot for PSP"s RAM! Doesn't it have only 32 MB RAM?

is there a way somehow to use the MS as swap?
(or are all the games using only 32Megs?)

Most memory sticks are too slow to use as swap.

by the way, what is an array?

If any number in the array is smaller than +-128, share each memory 4-byte cell for two numbers. Would it help, I hope?

A group of data entries being referenced by the same variable name

in php

Code: Select all

<?php

  $blah = array&#40;0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9&#41;;

  echo $blah&#91;5&#93;; // would return "4" because it's the fifth index

?>
