News flash: I'm going to Australia in February, so this Web site may be switched off at any time.
To create a list in the Icon language, simply enclose the elements
of the list in square brackets, separated by commas. For example, this
expression sets the variable ``flapper'' to a list with two
elements, the integer 23 and the string "skiddoo":
flapper := [ 23, "skiddoo" ];
As another example, this expression sets the variable
``perfectPeople'' to an empty list:
perfectPeople := [ ];
Here, the variable ``array'' is set to a list containing two
lists of three integers each:
array := [ [1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 6] ];
If you want to set up a list with a lot of elements all at once, see creating a list of a fixed size.
