Arraylist class

Arraylists can be thought of as traditional arrays with no bounds and much more flexibility.

The following code illustrates several of the Arraylist methods:

%alist is collection Arraylist of longstring %i is float %alist = new %alist:add('Idle') %alist:add('Gumby') %alist:add('Chapman') %alist:add('Pallin') %alist:insert(2, 'Jones') %alist:removeItem(4) %alist(3) = 'Cleese' for %i from 1 to %alist:count print %alist(%i) end for

This code snippet would print:

Idle Jones Cleese Pallin

The individual Arraylist methods are described in the following subsections. In the method templates, al is used to represent the object to which the method is being applied, sometimes called the "method object" or the "method Arraylist". Additional conventions are described in "Notation conventions for methods".
