This code snippet initializes an array of objects (likely tracks for some programming context) and prepares it for use. Here's what it does step by step:

1. Comment ("// 82 tracks"):

   • The comment indicates there are 82 tracks. This may imply that the actual number of tracks being allocated (83) may differ from the expected or documented value, or it could be an error.

2. Set the number of tracks (side_[0].nb_tracks = 83;):

   • The side_[0] is presumably an object or structure that represents a "side" (maybe of a disk, or some resource split into sections).
   • It has a member nb_tracks (likely an integer) that is set to 83, defining the total number of tracks for this side.

3. Allocate memory for the tracks:

   • side_[0].tracks = new MFMTrack[side_[0].nb_tracks]; allocates a dynamic array of MFMTrack objects, with the size determined by the value of side_[0].nb_tracks (which is 83).

4. Loop to iterate over all tracks:

   • for (unsigned int track = 0; track < side_[0].nb_tracks; track++) is the start of a for loop that will iterate over all 83 tracks (from index 0 to 82).
   • The body of this loop is not shown, but it is likely being used to initialize or manipulate individual tracks.

In summary:

The code sets up an array to store 83 MFMTrack objects (for the first "side," side_[0]) and starts iterating over the tracks to possibly initialize or process them.
