Can we make it so Thing.insert(me, index) is smart enough to add a new index if index is length+1?

For example, so we don't have to do this:


Heck, we could go a step further and have it extend the array as far as needed for the insert.

If you have 10 things in an array the length will show as 9 with 0 being the first. An empty array has a length of -1 (minus one)

i think you missed the point. when using the index parameter:

...will crash while i believe Nieb would like AppGameKit to automatically check if the current length of the array can accomodate the specified insert location. if not, automatically resize so that it can.

@nieb, i can see the value in what you're looking for. any feature request you might post would fit nicely in future array-related updates. in the meantime, we can write our own work-around realitvely easily, at least

You could just say Thing.length = 9

@Virtual Nomad:
I had a feeling I was missing something, I didn't fully understand the question.

I personally prefer to use Thing.length = 5 rather than Thing AS INTEGER[5] That's probably why I didn't fully understand.
