= fillArray =

== Syntax ==
{{bool fillArray (int nr, int val)}}

== Arguments ==
:'''nr'''
::Number of the Array. Values from 0 to 99 are allowed.
:'''val'''
::Value to fill array

== Return ==
Returns ((true)) if successful, or ((false)) if an error occurred (e.g., incorrect value for nr or byte-size of Array).

== Description ==
Function for filling an array with a certain byte, short, integer, or double value, e.g. for initializing all cells of the array to zero. If the byte-size of the Array is 1, 2, or 4, then val is converted to an 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit integer as needed.  If the byte-size of the Array is 8, then val is converted to a 64-bit ((double)) floating-point value (not a 64-bit integer!) for storage in the Array.

== Example ==
<code>
%ffp

OnFilterStart:{

allocArray (0,100,0,0,1);
  fillArray (0, 112);
  Info ("The array was filled with the value: %d", getArray(0, rnd(0,99) ,0,0) );
  freeArray(0);	
  
  return false;
}
</code>

== Comments ==
Note that the use of fillArray to store a 64-bit floating-point value in the Array is deprecated; use ((ffillArray)) instead.
