makeStructure

 

 

Description

The makeStructure function returns a new structure object, which is formed with the specified bindings and with the optional cdr value. Each binding {symbol: value} is a quoted symbol followed by a value. There may be zero or more bindings specified. The optional cdr value is preceded by the period special character '.

When to use

The makeStructure function is used whenever it is necessary to coerce a symbol-value pair into a structure binding.

 

Syntax

(makeStructure symbol value ...)
(makeStructure symbol value ... . cdrvalue)

Name Description AIS Types
symbolA symbol (This will be used as the key part of a structure binding)Symbol
valueA value (This will be used as the value part of a structure binding). There may be more than one symbol-value pairs.Character String Symbol Vector BitVector ByteVector IntVector FltVector ObjVector Structure Dictionary Directory Matrix NumMatrix Integer Float Number Complex
.A period. An optional parameter, if present, must be followed by a value which will be assigned as the cdr of the structure

Returns:

A Structure object.

 

Examples

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

Example_Structure_makeStructure_001

This example coerces a symbol-value pair into a key-value binding of a Structure.

Example_Structure_makeStructure_002

The following code sample shows how to use makeStructure function to construct a structure from Vector data.
