NAME remove - remove the last member of a list SYNOPSIS remove(lst) TYPES lst lvalue whose current value is a list return any DESCRIPTION If lst has no members, remove(lst) returns the null value and does not change lst. If lst has n members where n > 0, remove(lst) returns the value of lst[[n-1]] and deletes this value from the end of the lst, so that lst now has n - 1 members and for 0 <= i < n - 1, lst[[i]] returns what it would have returned before the remove operation. EXAMPLE ; lst = list(2,"three") list (2 elements, 2 nonzero): [[0]] = 2 [[1]] = "three" ; remove(lst) "three" ; print lst list (1 elements, 1 nonzero): [[0]] = 2 ; remove(lst) 2 ; print lst list (0 elements, 0 nonzero) ; remove(lst) ; print lst list (0 elements, 0 nonzero) LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO append, delete, insert, islist, pop, push, rsearch, search, select, size ## Copyright (C) 1999-2006 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.
