Freebasic tutorials & explanations
« on: December 11, 2008 »
This site is for complete beginners in Freebasic like me, and want to to learn a thing or two about those "chinese" lines of words, symbols and everything that compose a code.

for example you see this in a code --> Dim myString as String (the chinese i was talking about).

and what does that do? and what is it?

copy from the site:
Code: [Select]
String Type Declaration Purpose
Dynamic String Dim myString as String string that is dynamically allocated and automatically resized
Fixed Length String Dim myString as String * length fixed-length string
Zstring Dim myString as Zstring * length fixed-length, Null terminated character string
Zstring Dim myString as Zstring Ptr fixed-length, Null terminated character string
Wstring Dim myString as Wstring * length fixed-length, Null terminated string used with Unicode functions
Wstring Dim myString as Wstring Ptr fixed-length, Null terminated string used with Unicode functions

just an example of what to find in this site about Freebasic and explanations about the code.

just bumped into it while looking for explanations my self for what each thing does :)

hope it helps anyone new to Freebasic like me  :D
