-- Table Manipulation
|
|
-- This library provides generic functions for table manipulation.
|
|
-- It provides all its functions inside the table table.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Most functions in the table library assume that the table represents an array or a list.
|
|
-- For these functions, when we talk about the "length" of a table we mean the result of the length operator.
|
|
-- @module table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
-- Given an array where all elements are strings or numbers, returns
|
|
-- `table[i]..sep..table[i+1]...sep..table[j]`. The default value for
|
|
-- `sep` is the empty string, the default for `i` is 1, and the default for
|
|
-- `j` is the length of the table. If `i` is greater than `j`, returns the
|
|
-- empty string.
|
|
-- @function [parent=#table] concat
|
|
-- @param #table table table to handle.
|
|
-- @param #string sep the separator, default value is an empty string.
|
|
-- @param #number i start index, default value is 1.
|
|
-- @param #number j end index, default value is lenght of the table.
|
|
-- @return #string the concatenated table.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
-- Inserts element `value` at position `pos` in `table`, shifting up
|
|
-- other elements to open space, if necessary. The default value for `pos` is
|
|
-- `n+1`, where `n` is the length of the table, so that a call
|
|
-- `table.insert(t,x)` inserts `x` at the end of table `t`.
|
|
-- @function [parent=#table] insert
|
|
-- @param #table table table to modify.
|
|
-- @param #number pos index of insertion.
|
|
-- @param value value to insert.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
-- Returns the largest positive numerical index of the given table, or
|
|
-- zero if the table has no positive numerical indices. (To do its job this
|
|
-- function does a linear traversal of the whole table.)
|
|
-- @function [parent=#table] maxn
|
|
-- @param #table table table to traverse.
|
|
-- @return #number the largest positive numerical index of the given table, or
|
|
-- zero if the table has no positive numerical indices.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
-- Removes from `table` the element at position `pos`, shifting down other
|
|
-- elements to close the space, if necessary. Returns the value of the removed
|
|
-- element. The default value for `pos` is `n`, where `n` is the length of the
|
|
-- table, so that a call `table.remove(t)` removes the last element of table
|
|
-- `t`.
|
|
-- @function [parent=#table] remove
|
|
-- @param #table table table to modify.
|
|
-- @param #number pos index of deletion. (default value is the lenght of the table)
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
-- Sorts table elements in a given order,
|
|
-- *in-place*, from `table[1]` to `table[n]`, where `n` is the length of the
|
|
-- table. If `comp` is given, then it must be a function that receives two
|
|
-- table elements, and returns true when the first is less than the second
|
|
-- (so that `not comp(a[i+1],a[i])` will be true after the sort). Lua operator < is used instead.
|
|
--
|
|
-- The sort algorithm is not stable; that is, elements considered equal by the given order may have their relative positions changed by the sort.
|
|
-- @function [parent=#table] sort
|
|
-- @param #table table table to sort.
|
|
-- @param comp a function which take to table and returns true when the first is less than the second.
