QB64-PE/internal/help/_MEMFILL__1111111.txt
Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

{{DISPLAYTITLE:_MEMFILL}}
The [[_MEMFILL]] statement converts a value to a specified type, then fills memory with that type including any non-whole remainder.
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_MEMFILL]] {{Parameter|memoryBlock}}, {{Parameter|memoryBlock.OFFSET}}, {{Parameter|fillBytes}}, {{Parameter|value}} [AS {{Parameter|variableType}}]
{{Parameters}}
* The {{Parameter|memoryBlock}} [[_MEM]] memory block is the block referenced to be filled.
* {{Parameter|memoryBlock.OFFSET}} is the starting offset of the above referenced memory block.
* The {{Parameter|fillBytes}} is the number of bytes to fill the memory block.
* The {{Parameter|value}} is the value to place in the memory block at the designated OFFSET position.
* A literal or variable {{Parameter|value}} can be optionally set [[AS]] a variable [[type]] appropriate for the memory block.
{{PageDescription}}
* To clear previous data from a [[_MEMNEW]] memory block, use _MEMFILL with a {{Parameter|value}} of 0.
{{PageExamples}}
''Example:'' Filling array values quickly using FOR loops or a simple memory fill.
{{CodeStart}}
{{Cl|DIM}} a(100, 100) {{Cl|AS}} {{Cl|LONG}}

{{Cl|FOR...NEXT|FOR}} i1 = 0 {{Cl|TO}} 100
{{Cl|FOR...NEXT|FOR}} i2 = 0 {{Cl|TO}} 100
a(i1, i2) = 13
{{Cl|NEXT}}
