list is one of the core data types in MiniScript.

A list is mutable, ordered sequence of values. A list literal is defined by a comma-separated series of values enclosed in square brackets.

Example:

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
words = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five"]

Methods

Method Description
len Returns the length of the list
indexOf(item) Returns the index of the first occurrence of item in the list, or null if not found
push(item) Adds the item to the end of the list
remove(index) Removes the element at index
pop Removes the last element of the list, and returns it
pull Removes the first element of the list, and returns it
sum Returns the sum of all numeric values in the list
sort Mutates the list by sorting its elements in place
shuffle Mutates the list by re-ordering its elements randomly
join(separator) Returns a string with all list elements "joined" by a separator
insert(index, value) Mutates the list by inserting value at index
replace(oldValue, newValue, maxCount) Mutates the list by replacing occurrences of oldValue with newValue at most maxCount, if specified. If maxCount is omitted it replaces all occurrences.
