[quote=382090:@Robert Birge]A feature request that allows one to set a non–zero lower bound for arrays has been submitted:
<https://xojo.com/issue/11589>
Norman has noted that if done properly, it would not break anyones code, as one could set the lower and upper bounds in a declaration statement as in dim a(1:9). For many numerical or scientific calculations, setting a non-zero lower bound has many advantages. I hope as some point it is implemented as it would make some of my programs significantly less memory intensive.[/quote]
added to my feature request:
[i]This would also make it easier to implement feature request
Case 11589
11589 - Extend dim for arrays to allow setting of lower bounds
that would be very helpful to scientific programs which use arrays extensively and often require non-standard ranges[/i]
