Hi, thanks a lot for your contribution. The wiki is open, you can register and edit it freely! :)
Also pay attention to the comment about "how" and "how". In C, they are equivalent because those are const strings and have the same address. But with List<string> they get copied. However with List<unowned string> they would be equal. It would be better if you could reword that comment about pointing to the ownership of the List elements On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 8:26 PM, MohanR <mohan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm a beginner in vala.
