6.3 Functions that Operate on Arrays

In this section, we describe the functions that accept all types of arrays.

Function: arrayp object

This function returns t if object is an array (i.e., a vector, a string, a bool-vector or a char-table).

 
(arrayp [a])
     ⇒ t
(arrayp "asdf")
     ⇒ t
(arrayp (syntax-table))    ;; A char-table.
     ⇒ t
Function: aref array index

This function returns the indexth element of array. The first element is at index zero.

 
(setq primes [2 3 5 7 11 13])
     ⇒ [2 3 5 7 11 13]
(aref primes 4)
     ⇒ 11
(aref "abcdefg" 1)
     ⇒ 98           ; b’ is ASCII code 98.

See also the function elt, in Sequences.

Function: aset array index object

This function sets the indexth element of array to be object. It returns object.

 
(setq w [foo bar baz])
     ⇒ [foo bar baz]
(aset w 0 'fu)
     ⇒ fu
w
     ⇒ [fu bar baz]

(setq x "asdfasfd")
     ⇒ "asdfasfd"
(aset x 3 ?Z)
     ⇒ 90
x
     ⇒ "asdZasfd"

If array is a string and object is not a character, a wrong-type-argument error results. The function converts a unibyte string to multibyte if necessary to insert a character.

Function: fillarray array object

This function fills the array array with object, so that each element of array is object. It returns array.

 
(setq a [a b c d e f g])
     ⇒ [a b c d e f g]
(fillarray a 0)
     ⇒ [0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
a
     ⇒ [0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
(setq s "When in the course")
     ⇒ "When in the course"
(fillarray s ?-)
     ⇒ "------------------"

If array is a string and object is not a character, a wrong-type-argument error results.

The general sequence functions copy-sequence and length are often useful for objects known to be arrays. Voir la section Sequences.
