ListXnotY
Revision as of 10:52, 12 January 2010 by Strife Onizuka (talk | contribs) (You should initialize the variable when you declare it, as the compiler will implicitly initialize it. Implicit initialization isn't as readable as explicit, which is what examples should be: readable)

Function: list ListXnotY(list lx, list ly);
Show what x list has that y list is missing.
See also: Lists
<lsl> list ListXnotY(list lx, list ly) {// return elements in X list that are not in Y list
list lz = [];
integer i = 0;
integer n = llGetListLength(lx);
for (; i < n; i++)
{
if (llListFindList(ly,llList2List(lx,i,i)) == -1)
lz = lz + llList2List(lx,i,i);
}
return lz;
}
</lsl>
Example:
<lsl> list l1 = ["a","b","c","d"]; list l2 = ["a","1","b","2","c","3"];
default{
state_entry() {
llSay(0, "X list has this in it, but Y list doesn't: " + llList2CSV(ListXnotY(l1,l2)) );
//will say: d
}
} </lsl>
