!!!Note While this section is up-to-date and complete, it has to be reformated to be easier on the eyes. All UPPERCASE statement names and code should be changed to lowercase.

PUSH _ TO _

The PUSH - TO statement is used to add elements to a LIST. When you push an element to a LIST it is appended at the end of the list.

Syntax:

PUSH <NUMBER-VAR or NUMBER> TO <NUMBER-LIST>
PUSH <TEXT-VAR or TEXT> TO <TEXT-LIST>

Example:

DATA:
	foo IS TEXT LIST
PROCEDURE:
	PUSH "First index" TO foo
	PUSH "Second index" TO foo

In the above example, foo now contains the value "First index" at index 0 and the value "Second index" at index 1.

CLEAR

The CLEAR statement empties a LIST, thus deleting all its contents. The LIST itself is not deleted though, and can still be used and filled with new elements after a CLEAR statement has been executed.

Syntax:

CLEAR <LIST>

COPY _ TO _

The COPY - TO statement copies all the elements of a LIST with their respective indices to another LIST of the same type. The original LIST is untouched, but the destination LIST is completely overwritten by the contents of the copied LIST and any elements that existed in it prior to the copy are deleted. In other words, the destination LIST is CLEARed before the copy.

Syntax:

COPY <TEXT-LIST> TO <TEXT-LIST>
COPY <NUMBER-LIST> TO <NUMBER-LIST>

Example:

DATA:
	foo IS TEXT LIST
	bar IS TEXT LIST
PROCEDURE:
	PUSH "Hello there!" TO foo
	PUSH "How are you?" TO foo
	COPY foo TO bar
	DISPLAY bar:0 " " bar:1 CRLF
	# Will display "Hello there! How are you?"

GET LENGTH OF _ IN _

The GET LENGTH OF - IN statement stores the amount of elements stored in a LIST (or, analogously, the length of the LIST) into a numeric variable.

Syntax:

GET LENGTH OF <LIST> IN <NUMBER-VAR>

Example:

DATA:
	foo IS TEXT LIST
	count IS NUMBER
PROCEDURE:
	PUSH "Hello there!" TO foo
	PUSH "How are you?" TO foo
	STORE LENGTH OF foo IN count
	DISPLAY count CRLF
	# Will display 2

DELETE LAST ELEMENT OF _

The DELETE LAST ELEMENT OF deletes the last element pushed to a LIST. If the LIST was empty, this statement does nothing.

Syntax:

DELETE LAST ELEMENT OF <LIST>

REMOVE ELEMENT AT _ FROM _

The REMOVE ELEMENT AT - FROM statement deletes the element at the specified index from a LIST. If the index is out of bounds, this statement does nothing.

Syntax:

REMOVE ELEMENT AT <NUMBER-VAR or NUMBER> FROM <LIST>

Example:

DATA:
	foo IS TEXT LIST
PROCEDURE:
	PUSH "Hello there!" TO foo
	PUSH "How are you?" TO foo
	REMOVE ELEMENT AT 0 FROM foo
	DISPLAY foo:0 CRLF
	# Will display "How are you?"
