dimension

 

 

Overview

The dimension function returns the dimension of a Vector, Brick, Dictionary, or other AIS collection object.

Usage

The dimension function returns the dimension of a Vector, Brick, Dictionary, or other AIS collection object.

For instance the following Lisp code shows how to examine the dimension of several objects.

vars:(w x y)
(setq w 22.45)
(writeln "dimension of w = " (dimension w))
(setq x (new Structure: A: 1.0 B: 2.0 C: 3.0 D: 4.0))
(writeln "dimension of x = " (dimension x))
(setq y (new Matrix: Number: 2 2 2 1.0 1.1 2.0 2.1))
(writeln "dimension of y = " (dimension y))

 

Syntax

Expression:

(setq rank (dimension collection))
