add

Syntax

linearList.add(value)
add linearList, value 

Description

List command; for linear lists only, adds the value specified by value to the linear list specified by linearList. For a sorted list, the value is placed in its proper order. For an unsorted list, the value is added to the end of the list.

This command returns an error when used on a property list.

Note: Don't confuse the add command with the + operator used for addition or the & operator used to concatenate strings.

Example

These statements add the value 2 to the list named bids. The resulting list is [3, 4, 1, 2].

bids = [3, 4, 1]
bids.add(2)

Example

This statement adds 2 to the sorted linear list [1, 4, 5]. The new item remains in alphanumeric order because the list is sorted.

bids.add(2)
