Hi there,
In Epsilon, I had wanted to use the Collection.excluding(someObj)
operation to do some bits and bobs, but am not sure if I fully understand
how it is meant to work, or if it works as intended.
In the book pdf it says the operation, excluding, will return a new
Collection minus the specified object (someObj above). Does this mean the
operation does not modify the original Collection? I had assumed this was
the case. However, in the EGL at the end of this message, I find that
'excluding' seems to modify the original Collection:
Could anyone confirm whether or not this is in fact a problem? Any
clarification would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Edd
---- BEGIN EGL ----
[%
-- make some collection and add 6 elements to it
var os : OrderedSet;
os.add('a1');
os.add('a2');
os.add('a3');
os.add('a4');
os.add('a5');
os.add('a6');
%]
---------------------------------------------------------
In the following, I thought E1 and E2 would produce
the same output if the set, os, is not modified during
evaluation of the 'excluding' operation:
---------------------------------------------------------
[%os.excluding(os.at(0));%]
[%='E1 : os = '+os%]
[%os.excluding(os.at(0));%]
[%='E2 : os = '+os%]
---- END EGL ----
