Howdy,
Here's your v4 tip for the day:
NEW ARRAY APPENDING SYNTAX
--------------------------
One of the coolest new additions to the language is the new syntax
for appending elements to an array. All you do is specify an empty
index, like this:
array longint($types; 0)
$types{} := 7
This syntax is (to my eyes) much clearer than:
append to array($types; 7)
Basically, what happens internally is an element is appended to the
array and the index is set to the new last element of the array.
What makes this syntax really cool is that it can be used anywhere
you can use an element, including as a reference method parameter or
as the target of a command parameter. For example, you can do stuff
like this:
array longint($types; 0)
$table := table(->[vendors])
for ($field; 1; count fields($table))
get field properties($table; $field; $types{})
end for
At the end of this code, $types is nicely filled with [vendors] field
types.
Have fun!
