objectToList

 

 

Overview

The objectToList function converts the object {object} into a list returning the new list. The {object} may be either a Vector, a Dictionary, a Structure, or a Range. If the object is already a List, it is returned unchanged. Any other type of object is returned as a List containing a singleton.

Usage

The objectToList function is used to coerce an object into a List (of Pairs).

 

Syntax

Expression:

(objectToList object )


Arguments Name Type Description
Argument:objVector Structure Dictionary Range Any other object except the ones specified will return a List containing a singleton.
