Appending element to a list value inside an associative array
Hi,
I am trying to add an element into an associative array where the value is a list and the element needs to be added into the list inside associative array.
Eg:
cary = ["high schools" => {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}, "population" => 116244, "state" => "NC", "weather" => "sunny"];
In this,
1. How can I add a new entry to "high schools" list?
2. How do I convert the "weather" value to list? i.e. "weather" => {"sunny", "humid"}
Any help regarding this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dileep

Re: Appending element to a list value inside an associative array
There's likely a simpler way but the below seems to work.
cary = ["high schools" => {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}, "population" => 116244,
"state" => "NC",
"weather" => "sunny"];
// 1.
cary << Insert("high schools", Insert(cary["high schools"], "another school"));
// 2.
cary << Insert("weather", Eval List(Insert(List(cary["weather"]), "humid")));
Show(cary);
/*:
cary = ["high schools" => {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek", "another school"}, "population" => 116244, "state" => "NC", "weather" => {"sunny", "humid"}];

Re: Appending element to a list value inside an associative array
There is usually more than one way with JSL. Here is my way:
cary = ["high schools" => {"Cary", "Green Hope", "Panther Creek"}, "population" => 116244, "state" => "NC", "weather" => "sunny"];
Insert Into( cary["high schools"], "Black Bear" );
cary["weather"] = { "sunny", "humid" };
I am sure that the specific details will determine which way is best for you in this case.
