Name

SPVM::StringList - Dynamic string array

Usage

  use StringList;
  
  # Create a string list
  my $list = StringList->new;
  my $list = StringList->new(["abc", "def", "ghi"]);
  
  # Create a string list
  my $list = StringList->new_len(10);

  # Get list length
  my $length = $list->length;
  
  # Push string value
  $list->push("abc");

  # Pop string value.
  my $element = $list->pop;

  # Unshift string value.
  $list->unshift("abc");
  
  # Shift string value.
  my $element = $list->shift;
  
  # Set string value.
  $list->set(2, "abc");

  # Get string value.
  my $element = $list->get(2);

  # Insert string value
  $list->insert(1, "abc");

  # Remove string value
  my $element = $list->remove(1);

  # Convert StringList to string array.
  my $array = $list->to_array;

Description

StringList is a dynamic string array.

Inheritance

List.

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.

Class Methods

new

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

Create a new StringList 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 element's addresses of the string array are copied to the values of the the created array.

Examples:

  my $list = StringList->new;
  my $list = StringList->new(["abc", "def", "ghi"]);

new_len

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

Creates a new StringList 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. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

Instance Methods

get

method get : string ($index : int);

Gets the element of the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

insert

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

Inserts an $element to the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than or equal to the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

pop

method pop : string ();

Removes the last element and return it.

Exceptions:

The length of $list must be greater than 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

push

method push : void ($element : string);

Adds an $element after the end of the list.

remove

method remove : string ($index : int);

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

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

replace

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

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

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$remove_length must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

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

set

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

Sets $element at the position of $index.

Exceptions:

$index must be greater than or equal to 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

$index must be less than the length of $list. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

shift

method shift : string ();

Removes the first element and return it.

Exceptions:

The length of $list must be greater than 0. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

to_array

method to_array : string[] ();

Converts the list to an array.

unshift

method unshift : void ($element : string);

Inserts an $element at the beginning of the list.
