Script Command: array push/pop/count/removeAt

[joemcbride]

Idea for a new script command: array

# add value to an array
array push myArray one

# %myArray = one

array push myArray two

# %myArray = one|two

# remove last value
array pop myArray

# %myArray = one

# get number of elements in array
eval count array count myArray

# %count = 1

# index into array
# %myArray[0] = one
# %myArray(0) = one

# remove a value at an index
var myArray one|two|three
array removeAt 1 myArray

# %myArray = one|three

var myArray one|two|three
eval item array first myArray
eval item array lowest myArray

# %item = one

var myArray one|two|three
eval item array last myArray
eval item array highest myArray

# %item = three

array slice??
array splice??

# When sort compares two values, it sends the values to the compare function,
# and sorts the values according to the returned (negative, zero, positive) value.

var myArray Enchanting|Alchemy|Engineering

array sort myArray sortAsc
array sort myArray sortDesc

sortAsc:
  var targetArray $1
  var itemA $2
  var itemB $3
  var indexA $4
  var indexB $5

  # expects -1 < 0 < 1 to sort
  return %itemA.LearningRate - %itemB.LearningRate

sortDesc:
  var targetArray $1
  var itemA $2
  var itemB $3
  var indexA $4
  var indexB $5

  # expects -1 < 0 < 1 to sort
  return %itemB.LearningRate - %itemA.LearningRate

A few suggestions: 1) POPAT instead of REMOVEAT (just makes more sense since the other “get something out” command is also POP 2) POP and POPAT should populate a variable (pick one, a variable that we can’t normally mess with, or allow ARRAY POP myArray myVar) 3) I still would love %myArray[0] to give the whole array. That way I can access the whole array without knowing the entire length of the list. I know 3’s a stretch since you programmer guys like to start counting at 0, so I’m happy to give that up :D ~~Daniel
