Example NumVector copy 008

 

 

Description

This example shows how a Vector may be modified destructively or non-destructively using the the copy and setq function.

 

Details

The original Vector.

(define x #(num| 11.433 -2.6 )) Returns: #<NumVector 123456>

The copied Vector using the copy function.

(setq z (copy x)) Returns: #<NumVector 234567>

The copied Vector using the setq function.

(setq twin x) Returns: #<NumVector 345678>

The container named z is a copy of x (both are Vectors) and z has a separate memory space. However, the containers named x and twin point to the same memory spaces on the heap. Therefore

(setq twin[1] 3.6 ) Returns: #<NumVector 123456>

The setq command results in the contents of both twin and x being both the same.

twin[1] Returns: 3.6
x[1] Returns: 3.6

Since z points to a different memory space, it still retained the original value which was copied from x before the values of x were modified.

z[1] Returns: -2.6

Notes and Hints

Using the setq function results in objects having the same object id. But the object that is being assigned the copied object has a different object id than original object. In this example twin and x have the same object id while z has a different object id.
