NAME append - append one or more values to end of list SYNOPSIS append(x, y_0, y_1, ...) TYPES x lvalue whose value is a list y_0, ... any return null value DESCRIPTION If after evaluation of y_0, y_1, ..., x is a list with contents (x_0, x_1, ...), then after append(x, y_0, y_1, ...), x has contents (x_0, x_1, ..., y_0, y_1, ...). If after evaluation of y_0, y_1, ..., x has size n, append(x, y_0, y_1, ...) is equivalent to insert(x, n, y_0, y_1, ...). EXAMPLE > x = list(2,3,4) > append(x, 5, 6) > print x list (5 elements, 5 nonzero): [[0]] = 2 [[1]] = 3 [[2]] = 4 [[3]] = 5 [[4]] = 6 > append(x, pop(x), pop(x)) > print x list (5 elements, 5 nonzero): [[0]] = 4 [[1]] = 5 [[2]] = 6 [[3]] = 2 [[4]] = 3 > append(x, (remove(x), 7)) > print x list (5 elements, 5 nonzero): [[0]] = 4 [[1]] = 5 [[2]] = 6 [[3]] = 2 [[4]] = 7 LIMITS append() can have at most 100 arguments LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO delete, insert, islist, list, pop, push, remove, rsearch, search, size ## Copyright (C) 1999 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
