Finding an item by its position
An index tells Pliro which item you want. List and text positions start at zero, so the first item has index 0.
let scores = [10, 20, 30]
let empty = []
let mixed = [1, "two", true, none]
Lists preserve order and may contain any value. A trailing comma is accepted.
Indexes are zero-based, non-negative whole numbers:
say scores[0]
set scores[1] = 25
An index must already be in range. Lists have fixed length because there is no
append operation in the current standard library. left + right creates a new
concatenated list.
Text supports zero-based read-only indexing by Unicode code point:
let mascot = "🐢Pliro"
say mascot[0] # 🐢
Text cannot be changed through set.
Example
# language: en
let items = [10, 20]
say items[0]
say "🐢ab"[0]
let player = {"score": 12}
say player["score"]
