These two lines compile:
uint8[5] foo = [0,0,0,0,0];
int[5] foo = [1,0,0,0,0];
My question is, why do the following two lines not compile and how can I fix them?
int[5] foo = [1,-1,0,0,0];
Error: Unable to deduce common type for array elements
int8[5] foo = [0,0,0,0,0];
Error: Type uint8[5] memory is not implicitly convertible to expected type int8[5] storage ref.
I assume inlining numbers only works with uint?
Solidity Version 0.3.2-9e36bdda
The following code compiles correctly:
uint8[5] foo1 = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
int[5] foo2 = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0];
int[5] foo3 = [int(1), int(-1), int(0), int(0), int(0)];
int8[5] foo4 = [int8(0), int8(0), int8(0), int8(0), int8(0)];
Q: why do the following two lines not compile and how can I fix them?
A: Because the compiler cannot deduce the correct types of the array elements to match the array type. See the code above to fix the issue. Reference Solidity Documentation - Types - Explicit Conversions.
