Is it possible to use a name instead of a number to address an array? I was reading about enum lists and thought it might be possible. ie int array[3] = {something, somethingElse, somethingMore]
array[second] => somethingElse
I am asking as I have an array looking after flags for several functions and would like to be able to use the function name instead of a number to address the array.
bool flag[6] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}; // Power, Jump 3, Jump 7, Fade 3, Fade 7, Pause active
No, but you can use a struct:
struct flags {
uint8_t power;
uint8_t jump3;
uint8_t jump7;
.... etc ....
};
struct flags myFlags;
myFlags.power = 1;
if (myFlags.jump3) {
.... stuff ....
}
Or you can continue to use a simple numeric array and assign names to the numbers, either with #define, const variables, or an enum.
enum flags {
power, jump3, jump7, fade, fade7, pause
};
bool flag[6] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0};
flag[power] = 1;
if (flag[jump3]) {
.... whatever ....
}
