List

A List is an ordered collection of dynamic size. Like all other collections, they are passed by reference. You create a table by declaring a collection within square brackets. The following declares an empty List:


   Dim myList = []

Construction of a Table is similar to that of a list, except that the keys are implicit, based on order:


   Dim myCats = [ "Chester", "Charlotte", "Chloe", "Julius" ]

You can add items to the list with Append, which adds the elements to the end of the list:


   Dim myCats = []
   myCats.Append( "Chester" )
   myCats.Append( "Charlotte" )
   myCats.Append( "Chloe" )
   myCats.Append( "Julius" )

Or with Prepend, which adds elements to the beginning:


   Dim myCats = []
   myCats.Prepend( "Julius" )
   myCats.Prepend( "Chloe" )
   myCats.Prepend( "Charlotte" )
   myCats.Prepend( "Chester" )

Or Insert, which specifies a position to insert at:


   Dim myCats = []
   myCats.Insert( 1, "Julius" )
   myCats.Insert( 2, "Chloe" )
   myCats.Insert( 3, "Charlotte" )
   myCats.Insert( 4, "Chester" )

Elements can be accessed by index, starting at 1. Attempting to access a non-existant element will result in wxb throwing an error.


   Print myCats[3]

You can also access a slice of elements:


   Print myCats[2:3]
