New (Arraylist constructor)

Create a new Arraylist object (Arraylist class)

This method returns a new instance of an Arraylist.

Syntax

%al = [%(Arraylist Of itemType):]New

Syntax terms

%al	An Arraylist object that is set to a new Arraylist object reference.
%(Arraylist)	The optional class name in parentheses denotes a Constructor. See "Usage notes," below, for more information about invoking a collection Constructor.

Usage notes

• As described in "Using New or other Constructors", New can be invoked with no object, with an explicit class name, or with an object variable, even if that object is Null:

  %al = new %al = %(Arraylist of float):new %al = %al:new

  Note: As shown above, when explicitly indicating the class, both the collection and item datatypes must be specified just as they are on the collection variable's declaration:

  %arrayl is collection Arraylist of longstring %arrayl = %(Arraylist of longstring):new
