Collection `ToString` and various fixes
Collections ToString
All of the collection types now have a default ToString()
implementation for small list-like collections:
"[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]"
And for maps: (HashMap
and Map
):
"[(A: 1), (B: 2), (C: 3), (D: 4), (E: 5)]"
Larger collections will have CollectionFormat.MaxShortItems
and then an ellipsis followed by the number of items remaining. Unless the collection is lazy, in which case only the ellipsis will be shown:
"[1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... 50 more]"
CollectionFormat.MaxShortItems
can be set directly if the default of 50
items in a ToString()
isn't suitable for your application.
In addition to this there's two extra methods per collection type:
string ToFullString(string separator = ", ")
This will build a string from all of the items in the collection.
string ToFullArrayString(string separator = ", ")
This will build a string from all of the items in the collection and wrap with brackets [ ]
.
