Item number of specified name (FloatNamedArraylist class)
Number returns the item number (ordinal) of the item that has the specified subscript in the FloatNamedArraylist.
Syntax
%number = fltNal:Number( subscript)
Syntax terms
| %number | A numeric variable to contain the item number of the fltNal item selected by subscript. |
|---|---|
| fltNal | A FloatNamedArraylist object. |
| subscript | A numeric value that serves as a subscript to identify a fltNal item. |
Usage notes
- If Number is called and there is no item on the FloatNamedArraylist that has the indicated subscript, a
0is returned, regardless of the setting of UseDefault.
Examples
b %y is collection floatNamedArraylist of string len 32 %i is float %y = new %y(7) = 'seven' %y(38) = 'thirty-eight' %y(110) = 'one-hundred-ten' %i = 38 print %y:number(%y:nameByNumber(%i)) and %y:nameByNumber(%i) and %y:itemByNumber(%i) end for end
The request prints:
2 38 thirty-eight
