getPos()

Syntax

list.getPos(value)
getPos(list, value) 

Description

List function; identifies the position of the value specified by value in the list specified by list. When the specified value is not in the list, the getPos command returns the value 0.

For values contained in the list more than once, only the first occurrence is displayed. This command performs the same function as the getOne command when used for linear lists.

Example

This statement identifies the position of the value 12 in the list Answers, which consists of [#a:10, #b:12, #c:15, #d:22]:

put Answers.getPos(12)

The result is 2, because 12 is the second value in the list.
