Re: [Gm2] programargs

In other languages there are conventions like that. Mine convention (for my in-house scripting language) is - every array index starts with 1, except for strings where it is 0.

But, in Modula-2 there is no such thing. ARRAYs are subscripted with whatever type is specified. Index type  is in most cases some subrange type, but BOOLEAN and CHAR (being of small cardinality) are often used witout subranging. Data type is whatever you need for your application. First index value is whatever value is minimal/first in given index type.

Christoph,

I have no answer to your question. Though in the source you posted you declare
str : ARRAY(0..49) OF CHAR

being merely a beginner I did learn number arrays start with 0 and CHAR arrays start with 1

Cheers,
Noam.
