NAME insert - insert one or more elements into a list at a given position SYNOPSIS insert(x, y, z_0, z_1, ...) TYPES x lvalue whose value is a list y int z_0, ... any return null value DESCRIPTION If after evaluation of z_0, z_1, ..., x is a list with contents (x_0, x_1, ..., x_y-1, x_y, ..., x_n-1), then after insert(), x has contents (x_0, x_1, ..., x_y-1, z_0, z_1, ..., x_y, ..., x_n-1), i.e. z_0, z_1, ... are inserted in order immediately before the element with index y (so that z_0 is now x[[y]]), or if y = n, after the last element x_n-1. An error occurs if y > n. EXAMPLE ; A = list(2,3,4) ; print A list (3 elements, 3 nonzero): [[0]] = 2 [[1]] = 3 [[2]] = 4 ; insert(A, 1, 5, 6) ; print A list (5 elements, 5 nonzero): [[0]] = 1 [[1]] = 5 [[2]] = 6 [[3]] = 3 [[4]] = 4 ; insert(A, 2, remove(A)) ; print A list (5 elements, 5 nonzero): [[0]] = 1 [[1]] = 5 [[2]] = 4 [[3]] = 6 [[4]] = 3 LIMITS insert() can have at most 100 arguments o <= y <= size(x) LINK LIBRARY none SEE ALSO append, delete, islist, pop, push, remove, 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.
