Empty stack error

Question

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble understanding an odd behavior in my small basic code.

So i would like to share 3 examples of code and ask why does the last one produces an error.

Case 1:

Stack.PushValue("a",1)
Stack.PushValue("a",2)
Stack.PushValue("a","result")

v1 = Stack.PopValue("a")
v2 = Stack.PopValue("a")
v3 = Stack.PopValue("a")

test[v3][v2] = v1

TextWindow.WriteLine(test[1][2]) ' -> "result". Works fine

Case 2:

Stack.PushValue("a",1)
Stack.PushValue("a","result")

test[Stack.PopValue("a")] = Stack.PopValue("a")
TextWindow.WriteLine(test[1]) ' -> "result". Works fine

Case 3:

Stack.PushValue("a",1)
Stack.PushValue("a",2)
Stack.PushValue("a","result")

test[Stack.PopValue("a")][Stack.PopValue("a")] = Stack.PopValue("a") ' -> Throws an error: Stack is empty
TextWindow.WriteLine(test[1][2])

Thanks,

Answer 1

It seems that the interpreter is working from right to left and the "=" is grabbing an element.

 case4:
    Stack.PushValue("n",1)
    Stack.PushValue("n",2)
    Stack.PushValue("n",3)
    Stack.PushValue("n",4)
    Stack.PushValue("n","result4")
    testn[Stack.PopValue("n")][Stack.PopValue("n")] = Stack.PopValue("n")     
    TextWindow.WriteLine(testn[2][3]) ' -> Prints "result" '
    TextWindow.WriteLine("Stackcount: " + Stack.GetCount("n")) 
    TextWindow.WriteLine("and the element is: " + Stack.PopValue("n")) ' ->
    TextWindow.WriteLine("Stackcount: " + Stack.GetCount("n")) ' -> 

Conclusion:
When writing to a multidimensional array and using at least one STACK.PopValue() in the index, the stack counter is erroneously decremented before use.

It has something to do with the use of the Pop in an array index. See the output of:
Stack.PushValue("a",1)
Stack.PushValue("a",2)
Stack.PushValue("a",3)
Stack.PushValue("a","result")
TextWindow.WriteLine(Stack.GetCount("a"))
res = Stack.PopValue("a")
two=Stack.PopValue("a")
TextWindow.WriteLine(Stack.GetCount("a"))
test[Stack.PopValue("a")][two] = res
TextWindow.WriteLine(Stack.GetCount("a"))
TextWindow.WriteLine(test[1][2]) ' -> Prints nothing (empty)
TextWindow.WriteLine(test[1][3]) ' -> Prints "result" '
TextWindow.WriteLine(Stack.GetCount("a")) ' -> Prints 0. What happend to value 3 :)
