Container Functions

All of the functions below are called as member functions of a given UnigineScript vector or a map.

void allocate(int size)

Preallocates memory for a given number of elements in the vector (it is available only for vectors). With this function, it is possible to allocate memory only once, rather than for each new element.
Notice
The allocate() function is available only for vectors.

Arguments

  • int size - Number of elements the vector will hold.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int vector[0];
vector.allocate(5); // allocate memory for the five elements

// add new elements
vector.append(1);
vector.append(2);
vector.append(3);
vector.append(4);
vector.append(5);
// vector now has 5 components: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

void append(variable value)

This function receives a new element value and adds it to the end of a vector.
Notice
The error UserArray::append(): unknown array type indicates that an empty container was not declared properly:
  • If a vector, its size should be necessarily specified.
  • If a map, its size is not specified.

Arguments

  • variable value - Element to append.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int vector[0] = ( 0, 1 );

// add an element to the vector
vector.append(4);
// vector now has 3 components: ( 0, 1, 4 )

void append(int index, variable value)

This function inserts an element into a specified position of a vector.

Arguments

  • int index - New element index.
  • variable value - Element to append.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int vector[0] = ( 0, 1 );

// insert an element into the vector
vector.append(1,100);
// the vector content is ( 0, 100, 1 )

void append(int id, int position, int size)

This function adds elements of the second vector to the end of the source vector.

Arguments

  • int id - Vector of the same type as vector.
  • int position - Index offset.
  • int size - Number of elements to append.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int a[] = ( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
int b[] = ( 5, 6, 7, 8 );

// get two elements starting from the first index of the b vector and then add it into a vector
a.append(b,1,2);
// the result is the 6-component vector: ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 )

void append(variable key)

Adds a new key to a map. The size of the map will be increased by number of the appended elements.
Notice
After the function is applied, map keys are sorted in the ascending order.

Arguments

  • variable key - New key appended to the map. The value of the key is int 0.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int map[] = ( 1 : "one" , 2 : "two", 3 : "three");

// add a key and a value to the map
map.append(4);
// now the map components are: ( 1 : "one", 2 : "two", 3 : "three", 4 : 0 )

void append(variable key, variable value)

Adds a new key-value pair to a map. If such a key already exists, then its value will be replaced with the new one.
Notice
After the function is applied, map keys are sorted in the ascending order.

Arguments

  • variable key - New key appended to the map.
  • variable value - Value associated with key.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int map[] = ( 1 : "one" , 2 : "two", 3 : "three");

// add a key to the map
map.append(2,"new_value");
// the result is a map, where the second key-value pair is replaced: ( 1 : "one", 2 : "new_value", 3 : "three" )

void call(string name)

Calls the class member function for each element of the container where elements are instances of the class.
Notice
This function is faster than forlooporforeachstatements.

Arguments

  • string name - Name of the class member function to be called.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
class Foo { void foo() { log.message("called\n"); } };
Foo f[] = ( new Foo(), new Foo());
f.call("foo");
Output
called
called

void call()

Calls user/external functions with the same number of arguments by using their identifiers stored in one array.

Examples

For example, if you have an array that contains identifiers of different functions with the same number of arguments, you can call these functions at ones as follows:

Source code (UnigineScript)
void foo_1() { 
	log.message(__FUNC__ + ": called\n");
}

void foo_2() {
	log.message(__FUNC__ + ": called\n");
}

void foo_3() { 
	log.message(__FUNC__ + ": called\n");
}

// declare array of functions identifiers
int functions[0];

int init() {
	// add the functions identifiers to the array
	functions.append(functionid(foo_1));
	functions.append(functionid(foo_2));
	functions.append(functionid(foo_3));
	// call at ones all the functions stored in the array
	functions.call();
}
Output
foo_1(): called
foo_2(): called
foo_3(): called

int check(variable argument)

Checks, if a given index or a key exists in a container.

Arguments

  • variable argument - Integer position (for a vector) or the key (for a map) of some element.

Return value

1, if the index or the key is found; otherwise, 0.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int array[] = ( -1 : -1, 0 : 0, 1 : 1 );

// check an element for existence
array.check(-1);
// return value: 1

Variable check(variable argument, variable return_value)

Checks a given index or a key for existence and safely returns its value.

Arguments

  • variable argument - Integer position (for a vector) or the key (for a map) of some element.
  • variable return_value - Value to return if a given index or a key is not found.

Return value

Value of the given index (for vectors) or the key (for maps), if it is found; otherwise the specified return value.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int array[] = ( -1 : -1, 0 : 0, 1 : 1 );

// safely get an array element
array.check(-1,-13);			// the result is: -1, which represents the value from pair ( -1 : -1 ).
array.check(-2,-13);			// the result is: -13. It is the specified return value.

void clear()

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)

vector.clear();
// now the vector is empty.

int compare(int size)

int vector2[0] = ( 11, 22, 33, 44 );

// compare 
vector1.compare(vector2);
// return 0, because the contents of the vectors are not equal.

void copy(int id)

Copies one container to another, replacing its current elements.

Arguments

  • int id - Container of the same type as container

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
int vector1[0] = ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 );
int vector2[0] = ( 11, 22, 33, 44 );

vector1.copy(vector2);

// vector1 is replaced with vector2: ( 11, 22, 33, 44 )
// vector2 is not changed

int map1[] = ( 1 : "one", 2 : "two", 3 : "three", 4 : "four" );
int map2[] = ( 1 : "11", 3 : "33", 5 : "55" );
map1.copy(map2);

// map1 is replaced with map2: ( 1 : "11", 3 : "33", 5 : "55" )
// map2 is not changed

void delete()

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)
Foo array[] = ( new Foo() );
array.delete();

// find an element in the map that contains -1 key
log.message("%d\n",array.find(-1));   // the result is: -1, which is correct
log.message("%d\n",array.find(2));    // the result is: -1, which is ambiguous in this case
Notice
To avoid the ambiguity, use the find function with 2 arguments.

Variable find(variable value, variable return_value)

The two-argument version of find() returns the second argument value if nothing is found.

Arguments

  • variable value - Target element value.
  • variable return_value - Value returned if the value was not found in the container.

Return value

int a1[0];

fill(a0); // fill the first array
print(a0); // the result is 93 : 13, where the first number is the id of the vector a0

call("fill",a1.id()); // fill the second array 
print(a1); // the result is 94 : 13, where the first number is the id of the vector a1
