Dimensioning Arrays

[MrVertigo]

If you create and populate arrays using Basic on the ZX81:

1) Is that data accessible to a program written in machine code for the ZX81

2) If it is, does it run slower than data entered in machine code?

Not sure, but why not just do it in ML? Mixing the two seems harder to me than just doing whatever you want in ML.

What is ML?

What is ML?

machine language = machinecode

1) yes, read sysvar for variables and search that area forthe defined array
2) yes, problably. first you need to find where varaibkes are stored, then you need to check where in that section the array is.
Machinecode will directly acces the label which is part of the code.
