Memory Efficient Ways of Using Arrays - LabVIEW

Arrays are data-hungry beasts and can bring down projects if used unwisely. Here two efficient methods of array handling will be presented. Two examples are presented. In the first, we see how to efficiently add an element to the beginning of an array (the bad method (using build array function) and the good way (using the reverse 1D array function (twice)) are both shown). The second example code is based on in-place element structure. We will use two functions provided by in-place element structure for dealing with arrays, array index / replace elements and array split / replace subarrays and see how we can perform operations on the two split portions and then recombine them, memory efficiently.
