NAME push - push one or more values into the front of a list SYNOPSIS push(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 push(x, y_0, y_1, ..., y_n-1), x has contents (y_n-1, ..., y_1, y_0, x_0, x_1, ...), i.e. the values of y_0, y_1, ... are inserted in succession at the beginning of the list. This function is equivalent to insert(x, 0, y_n-1, ..., y_1, y_0). EXAMPLE > A = list(2,"three") > print A list (2 elements, 2 nonzero): [[0]] = 2 [[1]] = "three" > push(A, 4i, 7^2) > print A list (4 elements, 4 nonzero): [[0]] = 49 [[1]] = 4i [[2]] = 2 [[3]] = "three" > push (A, pop(A), pop(A)) > print A list (4 elements, 4 nonzero): [[0]] = 4i [[1]] = 49 [[2]] = 2 [[3]] = "three" LIMITS push() can have at most 100 arguments LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO append, delete, insert, islist, list, pop, 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.
