Array Module

Arrays are the mutable indexed type in Janet. They contain a sequence of values that are keyed with an index. They can also be used to implement stacks and queues. See the Arrays documentation for more info.

array/clear cfunction
(array/clear arr)

Empties an array, setting it's count to 0 but does not free the backing capacity. Returns the modified array.
Community Examples

array/concat cfunction
(array/concat arr & parts)

Concatenates a variable number of arrays (and tuples) into the first argument which must be an array. If any of the parts are arrays or tuples, their elements will be inserted into the array. Otherwise, each part in parts will be appended to arr in order. Return the modified array arr.
Community Examples

array/ensure cfunction
(array/ensure arr capacity growth)

Ensures that the memory backing the array is large enough for capacity items at the given rate of growth. Capacity and growth must be integers. If the backing capacity is already enough, then this function does nothing. Otherwise, the backing memory will be reallocated so that there is enough space.
Community Examples

array/fill cfunction
(array/fill arr &opt value)

Replace all elements of an array with value (defaulting to nil) without changing the length of the array. Returns the modified array.
Community Examples

array/insert cfunction
(array/insert arr at & xs)

Insert all xs into array arr at index at. at should be an integer between 0 and the length of the array. A negative value for at will index backwards from the end of the array, such that inserting at -1 appends to the array. Returns the array.
Community Examples

array/new cfunction
(array/new capacity)

Creates a new empty array with a pre-allocated capacity. The same as (array) but can be more efficient if the maximum size of an array is known.
EXAMPLES
(def arr (array/new 100)) # -> @[]

# Now we can fill up the array without triggering a resize
(for i 0 100
  (put arr i i))
Community Examples

array/new-filled cfunction
(array/new-filled count &opt value)

Creates a new array of count elements, all set to value, which defaults to nil. Returns the new array.
Community Examples

array/peek cfunction
(array/peek arr)

Returns the last element of the array. Does not modify the array.
Community Examples

array/pop cfunction
(array/pop arr)

Remove the last element of the array and return it. If the array is empty, will return nil. Modifies the input array.
Community Examples

array/push cfunction
(array/push arr x)

Insert an element in the end of an array. Modifies the input array and returns it.
Community Examples

array/remove cfunction
(array/remove arr at &opt n)

Remove up to n elements starting at index at in array arr. at can index from the end of the array with a negative index, and n must be a non-negative integer. By default, n is 1. Returns the array.
Community Examples

array/slice cfunction
(array/slice arrtup &opt start end)

Takes a slice of array or tuple from start to end. The range is half open, [start, end). Indexes can also be negative, indicating indexing from the end of the end of the array. By default, start is 0 and end is the length of the array. Note that index -1 is synonymous with index (length arrtup) to allow a full negative slice range. Returns a new array.
Community Examples

array/trim cfunction
(array/trim arr)

Set the backing capacity of an array to its current length. Returns the modified array.
