Saving pointer values into data types?

[Draco9898]

How would I save the value of a pointer from GetArray() into a data type such as a floating point value? I can't to get it to work.

I'm trying to save it as a floating point value then putting that variable into SetArray.

For example, off the top of my head:

Code Select Expand


dim WhateverThisis(23)
ThisPointVal#=GetArray(Whateverthisis())
createArray Pointer()
SetArray Pointer(),ThisPointVal#


then SetArray complains it's not a valid memory adress?

Oh my bad, it works now, weird... :huh:

You shouldn't store such values in floats.  If the value exceeds 24bit range it'll get corrupted.  32bit Floatings don't have the accuracy.

so, store these memory adresses in what type of varible then?

Integer
