Array

Maat has a very tiny type system with the Array type inheriting directly from the Any type.

Declaration

-- Yep, we have multiple ways of declaring an Array object
var a = a<liza madjou monthe>
var b = ["kueppo", "cyrus", "christ"]
var c = Array.new(2, 3, "four", a<5 6>)

.say for a.lmap(.split) -- a{l i z a m a d j o u m o n t h e}
.say for a.map(.split) -- a{l i z a}, a{m a d j o u}, a{m o n t h e}

Methods

(Note that parenthesis are Always optional in method calls)

Let a be a variable containing an object of type Array, a has the following methods:

• a.len() -> Num: Return the number of elements in a.
• a.pop([ Any n ]) -> Any | Array: If n is omitted, pop last element from a and return it else pop n elements from it and return them in an Array. Fail if array is emty.
• a.push(Any x [, Any y, ... ]) -> Array: Push into a elements passed as arguments to push into a. return the modified array.
• a.append(Any x [, Any y, ... ]) -> Array: Same as push except that it flattens arrays to append them invidually instead of appending as a single unit. Return the modified array.
• a.map():
• a.lmap():
• a.grep():
