inside
|
The inside function searches the List argument {list} for a match
of the search object argument {obj} and returns the index where {obj}
was found. If the {obj} was not found, false is returned. The isIdentical
predicate is used to perform the comparison
The inside Function is used to find an object {obj} in a Vector {vector}. Since the inside function returns the location of the {obj}, the inside function makes it convenient to perform some operation on the {obj} . An alternate function, the isInside function, is used when a Boolean value of either true or false is sufficient.
(inside obj list ) Returns false if the object is not present. If the object is present, returns an
integer representing the index into the list where the object was found.
Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.
Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments. Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
