Generic objects

Generic objects are objects that are implemented in C++, but can be accessed through the Yacas interpreter.

IsGeneric check for generic object
GenericTypeName get type name
ArrayCreate create array
ArraySize get array size
ArrayGet fetch array element
ArraySet set array element
ArrayCreateFromList convert list to array
ListFromArray convert array to list

IsGeneric -- check for generic object

Internal function
Calling format: 
IsGeneric(object)

Description:
Returns True if an object is of a generic object type.

GenericTypeName -- get type name

Internal function
Calling format: 
GenericTypeName(object)

Description:
Returns a string representation of the name of a generic object.

EG 

In> GenericTypeName(ArrayCreate(10,1))
Out> "Array";

ArrayCreate -- create array

Internal function
Calling format: 
ArrayCreate(size,init)

Description:
Creates an array with size elements, all initialized to the value init.

ArraySize -- get array size

Internal function
Calling format: 
ArraySize(array)

Description:
Returns the size of an array (number of elements in the array).

ArrayGet -- fetch array element

Internal function
Calling format: 
ArrayGet(array,index)

Description:
Returns the element at position index in the array passed. Arrays are treated as base-one, so index set to 1 would return the first element.

Arrays can also be accessed through the [] operators. So array[index] would return the same as ArrayGet(array, index).

ArraySet -- set array element

Internal function
Calling format: 
ArraySet(array,index,element)

Description:
Sets the element at position index in the array passed to the value passed in as argument to element. Arrays are treated as base-one, so index set to 1 would set first element.

Arrays can also be accessed through the [] operators. So array[index] := element would do the same as ArraySet(array, index,element).

ArrayCreateFromList -- convert list to array

Internal function
Calling format: 
ArrayCreateFromList(list)

Description:
Creates an array from the contents of the list passed in.

ListFromArray -- convert array to list

Internal function
Calling format: 
ListFromArray(array)

Description:
Creates a list from the contents of the array passed in.
