List math/manipulation

Lists are starting to be the bane of my existance.

I am trying to add a string to a list.

Can I do this?

string mystring = "foo"

list mylist = [mystring]

mystring = "bar"

mylist = mylist + [mystring]

so that now mylist should equal:

["foo", "bar"]

doesn't it work that way?

Also, should you not be able to do:

mylist += [anotherVariable]

to increment the list? (or is that too much to ask for?)

*sigh*

default {
    state_entry() {
        string mystring = "foo";

        list mylist = [mystring];

        mystring = "bar";

        mylist = mylist + [mystring];
        
        llSay(0, llList2CSV(mylist));
        
        integer anotherVariable = 9;
        
        mylist += [anotherVariable] ;
        
        llSay(0, llList2CSV(mylist));
    }
}

This outputs:
Object: foo, bar
Object: foo, bar, 9

Looks fine to me!

I do not know what is wrong with my code... but I can confirm that the following works:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        list mylist = [];
        string a = "123";
        mylist += [a];
        a = "456";
        mylist += [a];
        a = "789";
        mylist += [a];
        string out = llDumpList2String(mylist, "\n");
        llWhisper(0, "out = " + out);
    }
}

The output worked as expected with 123 then a carriage return, then 456 carriage return, then 789... I have some code troubleshooting to do! That's all there is to it! Sorry I wasted yer time people!

I'm pretty sure this describes what you're looking for:

You can try some of these:

<code>
list theList;

theList = ["foo","bar"];

theList = theList + ["baz"];

theList += ["moof"];

theList = theList + "gleep";

theList += "qux";
</code>

By the end of that, the list contains ["foo","bar","baz","moof","gleep","qux"]. The point is, you can add a lsit on, and you can also just add any data type to a list to have it appended as an item in that list.
