This is not clear.
k is set & cleared but not used after exit.

Code: Select all

'Here remove elements repeted
f = 1
c = 1
WHILE f <= x
    k = 0
    IF s(f) = s(f + 1)  THEN
        k = 1
        f = f + 1
    ELSE
        t(c) = s(f)
        f = f + 1
        c = c + 1
    END IF
WEND

IF the original array with the duplicates is no longer needed,
this what I would do AFTER the array is sorted in ascending order:

Code: Select all

f = 1 
for c = 2 to x
   IF s(f) < s(c)  THEN f += 1 : s(f) = s(c)
next c

@ircvs
There is an error in your code
Out of bounds array access on line 35.

when f = x the if statement checks s(f + 1) and f + 1 is beyond the upper boundary of s().

Code: Select all

WHILE f <= x
    k = 0
		
    IF s(f) = s(f + 1)  THEN
        k = 1
        f = f + 1

Hi, all!

Thanks to both of you.
I change the lines of code that you indicate to me.

That is why FXM always maintains that you compile with -exx.
Yes it does report an error. Out of bounds.
And it is an obvious one. s() is an array with upper bound of x. You loop until f is less than or equal to x. When f = x you then check in the if statement f+1 which will be 30000001. That is out of bounds.

In the latest code, the error is now on line 45.

Perhaps you can try

Code: Select all

WHILE f < x

If you don't compile with -exx FB does not do bounds checking.
So test it like this and you will see that without -exx it still reports no errors despite being obviously out of bounds

Code: Select all

WHILE f < x + 9

or even this to make it more obvious

Code: Select all

print s(ubound(s) + 1)

That is why FXM always maintains that you compile with -exx.

Yes, at least during the debugging phase.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Well, I work with this:
FB IDE See 0.4.6, February 19, 2006, wxwidgets 2.2.2

And with this editor, the program does not indicate error.

Here you have a sample:

13 10 18 18 16 3 20 7 3 17 13 14 16 8 19 14 8 13 8 13
Init array of 20 elements, some repeated

3 7 8 10 13 14 16 17 18 19 20
There are 11 unique elements

end

snip...
Compile from the command line using

Code: Select all

fbc -exx "nameofprogram.bas"

Then run it from the command line and see.

But really. Just debug your code and you can see that there is an error there.
Again, when f gets to 20 it comes down to the if statement and in that if statement is "s(f + 1)". f + 1 is 21 and that is out of bounds.

Hi, sancho3:

You're right!

I have never tried "fbc -exx" xxx.bas "

and yes, it indicates the same error as you.

... but with the editor, there is no error.

[lrcvs]

Hi, sancho3:


... but with the editor, there is no error... and... is a good idea!

... 3.000.000 of elements <= 1 second!


Init array of 3000000 elements, some repeated

There are 1896773 unique elements

end

What editor are you using?

Hi


Editor Fb:


FB IDE See 0.4.6, February 19, 2006, wxwidgets 2.2.2

[fxm]

In addition to compile with the '-exx' option, and in order to can visualize the run-time error messages when running code from FBIde "Run/Quick run" command, you must configure in the "View/Settings/FreeBASIC" menu the "Run command" field as specified at:

• viewtopic.php?p=121731#p121731, at paragraph: "Leaving the command line window open when the program finishes"

[SARG]

To show the bug (I guess it would be hard to find as it occurs randomly)

Just add this line after the ordenar2(...) instruction : s(21)=s(20).
The last value will be lost.....

If by chance the ubound+1 value is equal to the greatest value of the array this value is removed.
In this example seems to be 0 (but could be any value)
So removing elements in an array containing values <=0 the risk is to loose the zero.

Hope it's enough clear ;-)
