Lists and duplicate keys

[GMKai]

When creating a list with numeric entries...like this:

Code: Select all

 Local indextab = CreateList()
 Local p  = ToNumber(mui.get(mymuiid,"active"))
 If(HaveItem(indextab,p) = False)
              InsertItem(indextab,p,p)
              DebugPrint("Inserted!")
           Else()
           ...

What would be a good way to check for duplicates before insertion?

That check above should work for my case, but fails when the loop comes around with the same value again?
Is there a function to check contents and not the index?

Could look like this:

Code: Select all

Local indextab = {}

For Local i = 0 To 10
    indextab[i]= i
Next

For Local i = 0 To 15
    DebugPrint("i: "..i)
    DebugPrint("Have: "..HaveItem(indextab,i))
Next

For Local i = 0 To 15
    If(HaveItem(indextab,i))
       DebugPrint("index filled")
    Else()
       DebugPrint("not filled")
    EndIf
    
Next


WaitLeftMouse()

Output:

Code: Select all

i: 0
Have: 1
i: 1
Have: 1
i: 2
Have: 1
i: 3
Have: 1
i: 4
Have: 1
i: 5
Have: 1
i: 6
Have: 1
i: 7
Have: 1
i: 8
Have: 1
i: 9
Have: 1
i: 10
Have: 1
i: 11
Have: 0
i: 12
Have: 0
i: 13
Have: 0
i: 14
Have: 0
i: 15
Have: 0

Don't really understand what you're trying to do here. What do you mean by "fails when the loop comes around with the same value again"? I don't see that case in your code snippet. Please elaborate.

I think the first code snippet does not work because it uses integer indices, so InsertItem() on an empty list will not insert at position p but on index 0.
