Note
For mult-dimensional arrays, you must use the global
Ubound method and not the array method.
## Sample code
This code replaces each occurrence of X in an array with Y.
``` xojo
For i As Integer = 0 To Ubound(Names)
If Names(i) = "X" Then
Names(i) = "Y"
End If
Next
```

The following code returns -1 because the newly-declared array has no elements:
``` xojo
Dim i() As Integer
Dim j As Integer
j = Ubound(i)
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following code uses the alternative syntax to get the value:
``` xojo
Dim myArray(5) As Integer
Dim lastElementIndex, numberOfElements As Integer
lastElementIndex = myArray.Ubound
numberOfElements = myArray.Ubound + 1
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following code of a 2-dimensional array returns 5 in the variable i and 3 in the variable j (remember that the first dimension is numbered 1).
``` xojo
Dim i, j As Integer
Dim aNames (5, 3) As String
i = Ubound(aNames)
j = Ubound(aNames, 2)
```
