List values

A list is an ordered set of values that are indexed numerically, starting with zero (0). The value assigned to a member of a list can be any value regardless of whether it is variable, constant value, a table, a list, or other value type. The list() function initializes the variable type to be of type list. An example is:

x = list();

Using this syntax, the list is empty.

There are three methods to add members to a list.

• The first method is:

  x = list(<value_1>,<value_2>,<value_3>,...,<value_n>);
  

• The second method specifies an index and assigns a value. This method can also be used to change the existing value of a member in a list.

  x[100] = value_1;
  x[57] = value_2;
  

• The third method appends the value to the list. Using this method, ASL keeps track of the index value.

  x += value_1;
