what "proper lists" are - but I think maybe not quite what I meant.
There's a spec in the "Guides" tab of the LC8 dictionary -- look for
"LiveCode Builder Language Reference". There's also a whole LCB
dictionary section in the "Dictionary" tab that describes all the syntax
relating to working with Lists.
I was thinking of "proper arrays" :-) i.e. real, old-fashioned indexed
arrays - see Algol, Fortran, etc.
So we would have
read access in constant time
write access in constant time
insertion complexity - there is no such thing as insertion :-)
Yes. We're talking about the same thing. The LCB "List" datatype is
this datastructure.
