Warning notice during debugging

[curly]

Hi,

Can anyone give me a clue what to start looking for?

Warning - Runtime Error: index 2 is outside of collection bounds (see error.log for more information)

error.log appears to be written in chinese or arabic!

A compiling window also appears with no progress of activity?

Hopefully, if someone can tell me what it means, I mind be able to figure out where to look?

This is the relevant part of the error log

When you say "during debugging" do you mean you were running the debugger or were you just running the program? Running the program in the debugger, the ladybug icon, should get you stopped on the offending line.

What do you mean by compile window? The code is first compiled and the compile window dissappears. To get a runtime error you need to be passed the compile stage.

The error message usually means there is a missing part in a command line. So a coding error where Liberty expects an argument or a parameter but finds none.

Run the code in the debugger and tell us how you get on.

Hi Rod,

Liberty Basic window open with my code visible
click the icon for debugger - (looks a bit like the Covid virus?)
two popup windows appear, only one active
Compiling window, text Progress of activity, plain white band suggesting to me it hasn't started? Cannot click into this window
Other window says Warning - exclamationmark in yellow triangle, text RuntimeError: index 2 is utside of collection bounds (see error.log for mor information.

Each time I make changes, I'save as' a new version. Version 249 compiles and runs fine, version 250 won't

Kind regards and thanks

I'VE FOUND IT - IT APPEARS i HAVE A TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY WITH THE SAME NAME AS A SINGLE DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
Didn't realise that would be a problem? Capitalised one, now OK
Thank you for your help

Yeah?  LOL.   It's a ladybug.

Since Curly is UK based that would be a ladybird, strictly speaking UK speak. Wonder what it is called in Russia?

Lord's little cow

Ladybug it is then.

Native Ladybug (US) or Asian Lady Beetle ... ? I will forever dislike Asian Lady Beetles. They are often commonly mistaken for native ladybugs. If you have "ladybugs" intruding into your home during the Fall season then they are Asian Lady Beetles and not native ladybugs. Ladybugs native to the US do not overwinter inside homes ... One study I read showed that Asian Lady Beetles are mistaking typical home siding in the US with cracks/crevices in rocks and that is one reason they overwinter in US homes...

Just some off-topic tidbits ...

In the Netherlands ... oh Lord .... "God loveing beetle"

[curly]

They are Ladybirds here in the UK, and are you all aware the little blighters can bite if annoyed?

I have a piece of standard 8 cine film taken a long while ago of two of them being very rude!

[Brandon Parker]

Indeed...
And the orange stuff they excrete when frightened is ... their blood ...
