Adjusting an array

[Jacob]

Here's a real quick class that will use a byte array. You can insert, insert at certain indexes and remove at certain indexes.

I kinda tested it, if you see any problems let me know.

Code:

' **************
' * By : Dugor *
' **************

Option Explicit

' Our copy memory API call
Private Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "Kernel32.dll" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, Source As Any, ByVal Length As Long)

Private bArr() As Byte      ' A byte array we are using
Private Size As Long        ' The size of the array

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Size = -1
End Sub

' Will insert the value at the end of the array
Public Sub Insert(ByRef Value As Byte)
    Size = Size + 1
    ReDim Preserve bArr(Size)
    bArr(Size) = Value
End Sub

' Will insert the value at the index you specify
' It will then move the rest of the array down
Public Sub InsertAt(ByRef Index As Long, ByRef Value As Byte)
    If Index < 0 Then Exit Sub
    
    ' If the index you're trying to insert at is above our size
    ' just insert it at the end
    If Index > Size Then
        Insert Value
    Else
        Size = Size + 1
        ReDim Preserve bArr(Size)
        CopyMemory bArr(Index + 1), bArr(Index), Size - Index
        bArr(Index) = Value
    End If
End Sub

' Will remove a part of the array
Public Sub Remove(ByRef Index As Long)
    If Index < 0 Then Exit Sub
    
    ' If this is the last element we have to handle it different
    If Index = Size Then
        Size = Size - 1
        ReDim Preserve bArr(Size)
    Else
        If Index > Size Then Exit Sub
        CopyMemory bArr(Index), bArr(Index + 1), Count - Index
        Size = Size - 1
        ReDim Preserve bArr(Size)
    End If
End Sub

Public Function Count() As Long
    Count = (UBound(bArr) - LBound(bArr)) + 1
End Function

Public Sub Display()
Dim i As Long
    Debug.Print "Amount of items in array: ", Count
    For i = LBound(bArr) To UBound(bArr)
        Debug.Print "Index:"; i, "Value:", bArr(i)
    Next
End Sub

This is a quick example of how to use it.

Code:

Dim t As New clsArray
    
    t.Insert 1
    t.Insert 2
    t.Insert 8
    t.InsertAt 1, 5
    t.Display
    
    t.Remove 3
    t.Display
    
    t.InsertAt 4, 10
    t.Display

This is the output:

Amount of items in array: 4
Index: 0 Value: 1
Index: 1 Value: 5
Index: 2 Value: 2
Index: 3 Value: 8
Amount of items in array: 3
Index: 0 Value: 1
Index: 1 Value: 5
Index: 2 Value: 2
Amount of items in array: 4
Index: 0 Value: 1
Index: 1 Value: 5
Index: 2 Value: 2
Index: 3 Value: 10
