Types work with Arrays, they help organise them. In classic, an array can only hold one kind of data. For instance, an array must hold a string, float or integer...etc. This makes organising very hard. You would have to do something like this in classic.
Dim CharacterIntegers#(5)
CharacterIntegers#(1) = 10
etc.
In Pro you can do this
Type CharacterInformation
Name AS String
HP AS Integer
MP AS Integer
Class AS String
End Type
Dim CharInfo(1) as CharacterInformation
CharInfo(1).Name = "RPGamer"
CharInfo(1).HP = 10
CharInfo(1).MP = 3
CharInfo(1).Class = "Programmer"
As you can see, with types arrays are much more neat and easier to read, and much easier to handle!
