Application Builder, Newbie help, using For loop

Hi
I have just started out using the API for the first time and I wish to generate a number of Global Parameters entries, namely sigma_ink1, sigma_ink2, sigma_ink3 etc.
I have successfully recorded a Method using the Set operation and surrounded it with a For block statement ...
int n=10;
for (int i=0; i<n; ++i) {
int j=i+1
with (model.param());
set("sigma_ink"+j, "1000[S/m]");
endwith();
}
but instead of using 'n' I want to use a defined Global parameter 'ArraySize' which = 10 (or whatever the user enters).
Question: What is the syntax for using ArraySize instead of 'n'?
I have tried...
for (int i=0; i<"ArraySize"; ++i)
...but this just gives an error and I have searched but not found an answer.
Any newbie help much appreciated
Colin

Colin,
you compare with i, which is an integer, you decared it locally this way. So ArraySize has to be declared as a global integer. "ArraySize" as you used it is just a string constant.
If for some reason you need to declare ArraySize as a global string, you can convert, using toInt(Arraysize).
Your set method is wrong as well. You are adding the integer j and a string constant.
There are quite some JAVA tutorials around for syntax questions like this one. I am using them extensively.
Cheers
Edgar

Thank you, I understand that there is no substitute for learning the basics and I can see this mix-up of integers and strings.
I was cheekily looking for help on this one aspect so that I could demonstrate the feature and in-turn buy some time for myself some time to study it more thoroughly.
Appreciate your time.
