(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
list ListXnotY(list lx, list ly) {// return elements in X list that are not in Y list
list lz;
integer i = llGetListLength(lx);
while(i--)
if ( !~llListFindList(ly,llList2List(lx,i,i)) ) // * see Note
lz += llList2List(lx,i,i);
return lz;
}
Note: If the if test is written as if (!~llListFindList ... , the result will be a list of elements in X that are missing from list Y. If it is written as if (~llListFindList ... , the result will be a list of elements in X that are present in list Y.
Example:
list l1 = ["a","b","c","d"];
list l2 = ["a","1","b","2","c","3"];
list ListXnotY(list lx, list ly) {// return elements in X list that are not in Y list
list lz;
integer i = llGetListLength(lx);
while(i--)
if ( !~llListFindList(ly,llList2List(lx,i,i)) )
lz += llList2List(lx,i,i);
return lz;
}
default{
state_entry() {
llSay(0, "X list has this in it, but Y list doesn't: " + llList2CSV(ListXnotY(l1,l2)) );
//will say: d
}
}
