apply

 

 

Description

The apply Function invokes a Function using the structure values as arguments. The function is invoked and resulting value is returned. This is the same as (function ...arglist...).

When to use

The apply function is useful when the arguments to a function are stored in a structure . It shortens the amount of code to use because the apply function eliminates the need to reference each structure element from the structure to pass as an argument to the function.

 

Syntax

(apply function struct)

Name Description AIS Types
function any valid function name
struct A Structure containing values and are valid arguments to the named function.Structure

Returns:

The resulting value after the function is evaluated.

 

Examples

Here are a number of links to Lambda coding examples which contain this instruction in various use cases.

Example_Structure_apply_001

This example defines a Structure containing integer values. Then it uses the apply function to add the integer values contained in the Structure.

Example_Structure_apply_002

This example defines a Structure containing String values. Then it uses the apply function to append the String values contained in the Structure.

 

Argument Types

Here are the links to the data types of the function arguments.

Structure Vector Matrix Symbol
Pair List FltVector IntVector
ShortVector NumVector CpxVector BitVector

Here are also a number of links to functions having arguments with any of these data types.
