4.20 Accessing Elements of a Single-Dimensional Array

To access an element of a zero-based array, you can use the simplified formula

Element_Address = Base_Address + index * Element_Size

For the Base_Address entry you can use the name of the array (because HLA associates the address of the first element of an array with the name of that array). The Element_Size entry is the number of bytes for each array element. If the object is an array of bytes, the Element_Size field is 1 (resulting in a very simple computation). If each element of the array is a word (or other 2-byte type), then Element_Size is 2, and so on. To access an element of the SixteenInts array in the previous section, you'd use the following formula (the size is 4 because each element ...
