News flash: I'm going to Australia in February, so this Web site may be switched off at any time.
You can refer to the elements of an Icon list by their position
in the list, in much the same way that you can refer to the characters
of a string (see
how Icon positions are numbered). For
example, this expression writes the second element of list
``L'' to the program's standard output:
write ( L[2] );
Similarly, you can set any element of a string by assigning a value
to a subscripted element of a list. This expression sets the 9th
element of list L to 8.5:
L[9] := 8.5;
