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 0 is returned, regardless of the setting of UseDefault.

Examples

The following request demonstrates the numerically ordered result produced by a Number loop over a FloatNamedArraylist :

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' for %i from 1 to %x:count print %x:nameByNumber(%i) and %x:itemByNumber(%i) end for for %i from 1 to %y:count print %y:nameByNumber(%i) and %y:itemByNumber(%i) end for end

The request prints:

110 one-hundred-ten 38 thirty-eight 7 seven ----- 7 seven 38 thirty-eight 110 one-hundred-ten
