| Syntax |
list (value)
|
| Params |
value is the object whose datatype you wish to convert to listType.
|
| Action |
Converts value to a list representation. In most cases, this is a single-item list containing the original value.
|
| Returns |
The resulting list if coercion is successful, an error condition otherwise.
|
| Examples |
list (12)
» {12}
list (clock.now ())
» {"9/2/93; 4:44:44 PM"}
In this example, the date type of the list item is dateType; it is displayed as a string for readability.
list (point.set (12, 24))
» {12, 24}
The point.set verb creates an object of datatype point, which is coerced to a list of two numbers.
|
| Notes |
Most scalar values coerces to a single-item list containing that value
Point, rgb and rectangle values coerce to a list of 2, 3 and 4 numbers respectively, representing the fields in their record structures.
