SequenceableCollection is a subclass of Collection whose elements can be indexed by an Integer. It has many useful subclasses; Array and List are amongst the most commonly used.
Creates a Collection of the given size, the elements of which are determined by evaluation the given function. The function is passed the index as an argument.
size |
The size of the collection which is returned. If nil, it returns an empty collection. If an array of sizes is given, the resulting collection has the appropriate dimensions (see: *fillND). |
function |
The function which is called for each new element - the index is passed in as a first argument. The function be anything that responds to the message "value". |
Fill a SequenceableCollection with an arithmetic series.

Return the first element of the collection.
Return the last element of the collection.
Place item at the first / last index in the collection. Note that if the collection is empty (and therefore has no indexed slots) the item will not be added.
Return the index of an item in the collection, or nil if not found. Elements are checked for identity (not for equality).
Return the index of something in the collection that equals the item, or nil if not found.
Return an array of indices of things in the collection that equal the item, or nil if not found.
Return the first index containing an item which is greater than item.
Return a new collection of same type as receiver which consists of all indices of those elements of the receiver for which function answers true
. The function is passed two arguments, the item and an integer index.
If you want to control what type of collection is returned, use -selectIndicesAs
Return a new collection of type class which consists of all indices of those elements of the receiver for which function answers true
. The function is passed two arguments, the item and an integer index.
Return a new collection of same type as receiver which consists of all indices of those elements of the receiver for which function answers false
. The function is passed two arguments, the item and an integer index.
If you want to control what type of collection is returned, use -rejectIndicesAs
Return a new collection of type class which consists of all indices of those elements of the receiver for which function answers false
. The function is passed two arguments, the item and an integer index.
Answer the index of the maximum of the results of function evaluated for each item in the receiver. The function is passed two arguments, the item and an integer index. If function is nil, then answer the maximum of all items in the receiver.
Answer the index of the minimum of the results of function evaluated for each item in the receiver. The function is passed two arguments, the item and an integer index. If function is nil, then answer the minimum of all items in the receiver.
If the sublist exists in the receiver (in the specified order), at an offset greater than or equal to the initial offset, then return the starting index. The sublist must be of the same kind (class) as the list to search in. Elements are checked for equality (not for identity).

is not equivalent to x[a..b]
. The latter compiles to ArrayedCollection: -copySeries, which has different behavior when end < start.Return a new SequenceableCollection which is a copy of the indexed slots of the receiver from start to the end of the collection. x.copyToEnd(a)
can also be written as x[a..]
Return a new SequenceableCollection which is a copy of the indexed slots of the receiver from the start of the collection to end. x.copyFromStart(a)
can also be written as x[..a]
Remove item from collection. Elements are checked for identity (not for equality).
Remove and return item from collection. The last item in the collection will move to occupy the vacated slot (and the collection size decreases by one). See also takeAt, defined for ArrayedCollection: -takeAt. Elements are checked for identity (not for equality).
take(item)
works on Arrays but not on Lists, because the internally called method takeAt(item)
is not defined for Lists.

level |
Specifies from what level onward to flatten. level 0 is outermost, so flatBelow(0) is like flat. |

Note that the innermost arrays are not copied:
Flop with a user defined function. Can be used to collect over several collections in parallel.

Sort the contents of the collection using the key key, which is assumed to be found inside each element of the receiver.
Return an array of indices that would sort the collection into order. function is treated the same way as for the -sort method.

Applies the method named by operator to the first and second elements of the collection, and then applies the method to the result and to the third element of the collection, then applies the method to the result and to the fourth element of the collection, and so on, until the end of the array.
If the collection contains only one element, it is returned as the result. If the collection is empty, returns nil
.
operator |
May be a Function (taking two or three arguments) or a Symbol (method selector). |
adverb |
An optional adverb to be used together with the operator (see Adverbs for Binary Operators). If the operator is a functions, the adverb is passed as a third argument. |
Returns an integer resulting from interpreting the elements as digits to a given base (default 10). See also asDigits in Integer: -asDigits for the complementary method.
Returns the count of array elements that are not equal in identical positions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance
The collections are not wrapped - if one array is shorter than the other, the difference in size should be included in the count.
With fuzzy comparisons, the arrays do not need to match exactly. We can check how similar they are, and make decisions based on that. This is the magic behind autocorrection.
Returns the minimum number of changes to modify this SequenceableCollection
into the other SequenceableCollection
. A change can be: an addition, a deletion, or a substitution. This is known as the Levenshtein Distance and is implemented in SuperCollider using the Wagner–Fischer algorithm.
The default comparison uses identity - see Object: -== and Object: -===
Where both arrays are raw arrays (String, Int16Array, Int32Array, FloatArray etc., or any derived classes), like comparing two strings, a faster primitive will be used to calculate the distance.
In cases where the arrays are of different types, it will fall back to a slower, non-primitive implementation.
For cases that require comparisons other than identity, the optional compareFunc
can be given to compare elements. This function will be passed two arguments, representing a single element from each array to compare, and this function must return a boolean as to whether or not the elements are equal.
compareFunc
will bypass the primitive and may take significantly longer to execute for larger arrays.other |
The |
compareFunc |
An optional comparison function to use for each element. It will be provided two arguments, and the function must return a boolean as to whether or not they are the same. Default value is |
Returns a value between 0 and 1 representing the percentage similarity between this SequenceableCollection
and the other SequenceableCollection
.
A value of 1 means they are exactly the same, a value of 0 means they are completely different. This is calculated based on the -editDistance
other |
The |
compareFunc |
An optional compareFunc to be used to calculate the edit distance (see -editDistance) |

All of the following messages are performed on the elements of this collection, using Object: -multiChannelPerform.
The result depends on the objects in the collection, but the main use case is for UGens.
See also Multichannel Expansion
Calls this.multiChannelPerform(selector, *args)
where selector is the name of the message.
This method is called internally on inputs to UGens that take multidimensional arrays, like Klank and it allows proper multichannel expansion even in those cases. For SequenceableCollection, this returns the collection itself, assuming that it contains already a number of Refs. See Ref for the corresponding method implementation.

Convert a rhythm-list to durations.
supports a variation of Mikael Laurson's rhythm list RTM-notation.1
The method converts a collection of the form [beat-count, [rtm-list], repeats]
to a List of Floats. A negative integer within the rtm-list equates to a value tied over to the duration following. The method is recursive in that any subdivision within the rtm-list can itself be a nested convertRhythm collection (see example below). The repeats integer has a default value of 1.
If the divisions in the rtm-list are events, the event durations are interpreted as relative durations, and a list of events is returned.

Example:
Similar to -unixCmd except that the stdout of the process is returned (synchronously) rather than sent to the post window. This object should be an array of strings where the first string is the path to the executable to be run and all other strings are passed as arguments to the executable. This method starts the process directly without using a shell.
