# Array
|
|
|
|
Arrays are the most basic __collection (aggregate)__.
|
|
A collection is an object that can hold multiple objects inside it.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
a = [1, 2, 3]
|
|
a: [Int; 3] # Type specification: number after semicolon is the number of elements
|
|
# Can be omitted if the number of elements is not known
|
|
a: [Int]
|
|
|
|
mut_a = [!1, !2, !3]
|
|
mut_a[0].inc!()
|
|
assert mut_a == [2, 2, 3]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As a rule, arrays cannot contain objects of different types.
|
|
|
|
```python,compile_fail
|
|
[1, "a"] # TypeError: 1st element is Int, but 2nd element is Str
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However, you can bypass the restriction by explicitly specifying the type like this.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
[1: Int or Str, "a"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Slice
|
|
|
|
An array can also have multiple values taken out at once. This is called slicing.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
l = [1, 2, 3, 4]
|
|
# Same as l[1:3] in Python
|
|
assert l[1.. <3] == [2, 3]
|
|
assert l[1..2] == [2, 3]
|
|
# Same as l[1]
|
|
assert l[1..1] == [2]
|
|
# Same as l[::2] in Python
|
|
assert l[..].step(2) == [2, 4]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The object obtained by slicing is an (immutable) copy to an array.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
print! Typeof l[1..2] # [Int; 4]
|
|
```
