Syntax

function VarIsArray(const V: Variant): Boolean;

Description

VarIsArray returns True if the Variant V is an array, and it returns False otherwise. A Variant array has the varArray bit set in its VarType.

VarIsArray is a real function.

Example

// Return the sum of all the numbers in a 1D array, or if the
// argument is not an array, return its numeric value.
function Sum(const V: Variant): Variant;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  if VarIsArray(V) then
  begin
    Result := 0.0;
    Assert(VarArrayDimCount(V) = 1);
    for I := VarArrayLowBound(V, 1) to VarArrayHighBound(V, 1) do
      Result := Result + V[I];
  end
  else
    Result := V + 0.0; // Ensure that the result is numeric.
end;
