Im having trouble with arrays.
I also found this:
Code: array_base .EQU $8000
element_size .EQU 3
LD A, (array_base+(4*element_size))
LD C, A
LD A, 3 ; Put index in A
LD B, A ; Multiply by element size
ADD A, A
ADD A, B
LD D, 0
LD E, A ; Put A in DE
LD HL, array_base ; Add index to base
ADD HL, DE
LD C, (HL)
Im wondering why it does any good to load a into c if c is used for nothing in the code.
You're correct, 16aroth6; the "LD C,A" instruction serves no purpose within this block of code. In fact, the instruction before that, "LD A,(array_base+(4*element_size))" serves no purpose either, as 2 instructions later, A is overwritten with "LD A,3".
This code will always result in HL = $8009, thus C will always equal the value stored in ($8009).
Ok, I think I kind of understand whats going on.
