C04) How do I work around "Repetition of non simple patterns is not implemented" (using v5.0 of the compiler)?
If you want to write:
persons: [100]@person
(which is not implemented in version 5.0 of the BETA compiler), you should
instead write:
persons: [100]^persons
and then, before you start using the persons repetition, initialize it by:
(for i: persons.range repeat
&person[]->persons[i][]
for)
Then you can use the persons repetition in the rest of the program, just as
if it was declared as a repetition of static persons.
In version 5.1 of the BETA compiler, persons: [100]@person is implemented.
