MC-Basic:CASTLOCATION

Language:	English  • 中文（简体）‎

Creates and returns a generic location type of point, using the robot type given by the second, long-type argument, while coordinate values are taken from the first argument. If the first argument is scalar, the resulting point will be composed of identical coordinates. Using an array as the first argument will result in a point composed of the first "number-of-coordinates" (determined by the robot type) array elements.

Syntax

<location_variable> = castlocation (<long_scalar_expression>, <long_expression>)

<location_variable> = castlocation (<double_scalar_expression>, <long_expression>)

<location_variable> = castlocation (<long_array>, <long_expression>)

<location_variable> = castlocation (<double_array>, <long_expression>)
