adding data to an array dynamically

[Dhiraj]

How do I add an element after every fourth element of a dynamic 1D array?

What is a dynamic 1-D array?  Are you talking about a 1-D array of the dynamic data type?

To add an element into a 1-D array, you need to use the Insert Into Array function.

Something like this?

I am pretty sure there is a simpler way of doing this...This is what came to my mind randomly

Let me redfine the problem.

I have an array which is being populated continuously by a bit stream (a sequence of complex numbers). I have to insert a complex number after every 4th element of this array. Is this clearer?

Thanks

Show the code that you have now that shows how the array is being populated.

What you can do is maintain a shift register like Guru showed you.  Every time a new element is added, increment the shift register.  You can also use the Quotient remainder function to divide by 4 and always increment the remainder.  Whenever the remainder is zero, then add your extra element.

Guru's code looks correct, but if you are adding just one element at a time (instead of acting on a whole array at once as he shows), then you just need to implement the inner part of his code into yours.

A performance note - please do not put a Build Array primitive into a loop.  This fragments memory and kills preformance.  Check here for some much faster alternatives (although more complex).
