Replace the specified element of the tuple, destructively if it's mutable and of the right optimized element type. Answer the modified original or edited copy.

staticTupleSize

@JvmStatic

fun staticTupleSize(tuple: A_Tuple): Int

Answer the number of elements in this tuple.

toArray

fun toArray(tuple: A_Tuple): Array<AvailObject>

Construct an array from the specified A_Tuple. The elements are not made immutable.

toList

fun <X : A_BasicObject?> toList(tuple: A_Tuple): MutableList<X>

Construct a Java List from the specified tuple. The elements are not made immutable.

tupleFromIntegerList

fun tupleFromIntegerList(list: List<Int>): A_Tuple

Construct a new tuple of ints. Use the most compact representation that can still represent each supplied Integer.

tupleWithout

fun tupleWithout(originalTuple: A_Tuple, elementToExclude: A_BasicObject): A_Tuple

Construct a new tuple of arbitrary Avail objects based on the given tuple, but with an occurrence of the specified element missing, if it was present at all. The elements may end up being shared between the original and the copy, so the client must ensure that either the elements are marked immutable, or one of the copies is not kept after the call. If the element is not found, then answer the original tuple.

Properties

concatenateTupleMethod

val concatenateTupleMethod: CheckedMethod

The CheckedMethod for staticConcatenateTuples.

emptyTuple

val emptyTuple: AvailObject

The empty tuple.

preToggle

const val preToggle: Int = 1910861990

The constant by which each element's hash should be XORed prior to combining them. This reduces the chance of systematic collisions due to using the same elements in different patterns of nested tuples.

tupleAtMethod

val tupleAtMethod: CheckedMethod

The CheckedMethod for staticTupleAt.

tupleAtPuttingMethod

val tupleAtPuttingMethod: CheckedMethod

The CheckedMethod for staticTupleAt.

tupleSizeMethod

val tupleSizeMethod: CheckedMethod

The CheckedMethod for staticTupleSize.
