Reverse a List

Hi Rafael

Does this help.

Hello Brenden,

Thank you for your help!!!

Unfortunately it sends me an error when I used the statement "point4.Reverse", "point4" is a list of points.

I'm attaching a picture

Hi Rafael,

I tried a bit with this one.

It seem as if the syntax has to be the other way round:

transaction 1 modelChange 'Add baseCS'

}

        EndPoint                  = Reverse(point2);
    }
}

The last one shows the support change.

EndPoint    = Reverse(point2)

Even if Wayne's solution looks cooler I find this a bit more understandable.

Because Reverse is a method on the "list" point4, it needs the parentheses behind its name:

point4.Reverse()

Then this should work just fine.

... so it is not intended that Reverse(point4) works too?

Hi Ingo,

That is a good question:

Reverse(point4) is working out of legacy reasons to retain compatibility for older scripts when GC had list functions instead of leveraging list methods. List functions have been deprecated.

For new scripts, the preferred approach is to use list methods, i.e. point4.Reverse(). Intent is that all previously existing GC list functions are available as methods, plus list methods provided through the dot Net Framework, thus extending the toolset available for list manipulation and computations on lists.
