SystemLow (Delphi)

Description

This example requires a button and two list boxes. Two lists of floating point numbers are generated initially and displayed in the list boxes. Clicking the button sums the lists. Notice that the range of the list arrays can be any integers, as long as Low is less than High.

Code

var
  List1: array[0..3] of Double;
  List2: array[5..17] of Double;

function Sum( var X: array of Double): Double;
var
  I: Word;
  S: Real;
begin
  S := 0; { Note that an open array's index range is always zero-based. }
  for I := 0 to High(X) do S := S + X[I];
  Sum := S;
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  S, TempStr: string;
begin
  Str(Sum(List1):4:2, S);
  S := 'Sum of List1: ' + S + #13#10;  // The "#13#10" part represents a carriage-return + 
  // line-feed combination. The "#13" is the ASCII equivalent to the CR (carriage return) value;
  // #10 represents LF (line feed). 
  S := S + 'Sum of List2: ';
  Str(Sum(List2):4:2, TempStr);
  S := S + TempStr;
  MessageDlg(S, mtInformation, [mbOk], 0);

end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  X: Word;
begin
  for X := Low(List1) to High(List1) do
  begin
      List1[X] := X * 3.4;
      ListBox1.Items.Add(FloatToStr(List1[X]));
  end;
  for X := Low(List2) to High(List2) do
  begin
      List2[X] := X * 0.0123;
      ListBox2.Items.Add(FloatToStr(List2[X]));
  end;
end;
