In this task, the goal is to retrieve an element of an array.
AppleScript
on getArrayValue(array, location) -- very important -- The list index starts at 1 not 0 return item location in array end getArrayValue
C
int array_index(int array[], int index) { return array[index]; }
C#
int getArrayValue( int values[], int index ) { return values[index]; }
C++
template<typename T> T array_index(T array[], size_t index) { return array[index]; }
Common Lisp
(defun array-value (array index) (aref array index))
mIRC
Interpeter: mIRC Script Editor Library: mArray Snippet
alias readmyarray { echo -a $array_read(MyArray, 2, 3) }
Perl
Interpreter: Perl 5.8.8
$elem = $array[0];
PHP
$array = array('php', 'has', 'arrays'); // First element $elem = $array[0];
Python
Interpreter: Python 2.5
The item is an element in a list at a given index
item = aList[index]
or
To use a list like a stack be it FIFO/LIFO
aList.pop() # Pop last item in a list aList.pop(0) # Pop first item in a list
Note: When using the pop() method, the element is removed from the list.
Ruby
ary = ['Ruby','rules','big','time'] #the first element element = ary[0] #or element = ary.first # => element = 'Ruby'
#the last element element = ary[-1] #or element = ary.last # => element = 'time'
#retrieving different values at once elements = ary.values_at(0,2,3) # => elements = ['Ruby','big','time']
#select the first element of length 3 element = ary.find{|el|el.length==3} # => element = "big"
