NAME

list - a set of values

SYNTAX EXAMPLE

(< 1, 7, 8, 9 >)

DESCRIPTION

A list is basically a mapping without data values, when indexing a list 1 willl be returned if the index is present, zero otherwise.

Here follows a list of operators that applies to lists: In this list a and b is used to represent a list expression:

a + b
summation ( (<1>) + (<2>) returns (<1,2>) )
a - b
subtraction, returns a copy of a with all values that are
present in b removed.
a & b
intersection, return a list with all values that are
present in both a & b.
a | b
union, return a list with all values that are present in
a or b, differs from summation in that values that are
present in both a and b are only returned once.
a ^ b
xor, return a list with all indices that are present in
a or b but not in both.
a == b
returns 1 if a is the same list as b, same size and values
is not enough.
a != b
returns 1 if a is the same list as b, same size and values
is not enough.
! a
boolean not, returns 0
a[c]
indexing, returns 1 c is present in the list a.
a[c]=d
setting, if d is true, c is added to the list if it is not
present already. If d is false, it is removed if it is
present.
