Name

SPVM::IntList - Dynamic int Arrays

Description

The IntList class in SPVM has methods to manipulate dynamic int arrays.

Usage

  use IntList;
  
  # Create a int list
  my $list = IntList->new;
  my $list = IntList->new([(int)1, 2, 3]);
  
  # Create a int list with array length
  my $list = IntList->new_len(10);
  
  # Get list length
  my $length = $list->length;
  
  # Push value
  $list->push((int)3);
  
  # Pop value.
  my $element = $list->pop;
  
  # Unshift value.
  $list->unshift((int)3);
  
  # Shift value.
  my $element = $list->shift;
  
  # Set value.
  $list->set(2, (int)3);
  
  # Get value.
  my $element = $list->get(2);
  
  # Insert value
  $list->insert(1, 3);
  
  # Remove value
  my $element = $list->remove(1);
  
  # Convert list to array.
  my $array = $list->to_array;
  

Details

Internal Data Structure

The "array" stored in an IntList object always starts at index 0.

The elements in the range that is greater than or equal to the "length" field and less than the "capacity" field are filled with 0.

Fields

capacity

has capacity : ro int;

The capacity. This is the length of the internally reserved elements to extend the length of the list.

length

has length : ro int;

The length of the list.

array

has array : int[];

The internal array stored in the IntList object.

Class Methods

new

static method new : IntList ($array : int[] = undef, $capacity : int = -1);

Create a new IntList object using "new_len".

The passed length to "new_len" is the length of the array. If the array is undef, the length is 0.

The elements of the array are copied to the elements of the the created array.

Examples:

  my $list = IntList->new;
  my $list = IntList->new([(int)1, 2, 3]);

new_len

static method new_len : IntList ($length : int, $capacity : int = -1);

Creates a new IntList object with $length and $capacity.

If $capacity is less than 0, the capacity is set to the default value.

If $length is greater than $capacity, $capacity is set to $length.

Exceptions:

$length must be greater than or equal to 0.

Instance Methods

get

method get : int ($index : int);

Gets the element of the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0.

$index must be less than the length of $list.

insert

method insert : void ($index : int, $element : int);

Inserts an $element to the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0.

$index must be less than or equal to the length of $list.

pop

method pop : int ();

Removes the last element and return it.

Exceptions:

The length of $list must be greater than 0.

push

method push : void ($element : int);

Adds an $element after the end of the list.

remove

method remove : int ($index : int);

Removes the element at the position of $index and return it.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0.

$index must be less than the length of $list.

replace

method replace : void ($offset : int, $remove_length : int, $replace : int[]);

Replaces the elements of the range specified by $offset and $length with $replace array.

Exceptions:

$offset must be greater than or equal to 0.

$remove_length must be greater than or equal to 0.

$offset + $removing length must be less than or equal to the length of $list.

reserve

method reserve : void ($new_capacity : int);

Reserves the elements with $new_capacity.

If $new_capacity is greater than the capacity of the list, the capacity of the list is extended to $new_capacity.

Exceptions:

$new_capacity must be greater than or equal to 0.

resize

method resize : void ($new_length : int);

Resize the list with $new_length.

Exceptions:

$new_length must be greater than or equal to 0.

set

method set : void ($index : int, $element : int);

Sets $element at the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0.

$index must be less than the length of $list.

shift

method shift : int ();

Removes the first element and return it.

Exceptions:

The length of $list must be greater than 0.

to_array

method to_array : int[] ();

Creates a new array with the length of the list and copies all elements of the list into the new array, and returns it.

get_array_unsafe

method get_array_unsafe : int[] ();

Gets the internally array.

This array is unsafe because it continues to point to the old array if the internal array is extended.

unshift

method unshift : void ($element : int);

Inserts an $element at the beginning of the list.
