Dynamic Function Arguments?

HeavyByte

Is there a keyword to access the arguments of a function as an array, similar to how the built in print function works?

I am trying to write a print line function that basically wraps print() but adds a new line char at the end. I know that I could just pass my arguments as an array and use a for loop to concat the string but that seems too messy and a waste.

Thank you for all the help!

I’m afraid it’s not possible. But you can concatenate strings with + instead of using , and that way you can use the same arguments to your own print function and the built-in one...

@vinicity Thanks! I really liked how clean the syntax was with commas so I think I'll just stick with adding "\n" manually at the end of everything.

You could write something like this:

function joinArray(values, separator)
    string result = ""
    int i
    for i = 0 to len(values) loop
        if i > 0 then
            result += separator
        endif
        result += str(values[i])
    repeat
return result

function printLn(value)
    print(value + "\n")
return void

// then call like this:
string joined = joinArray([1, 2, "test", [.example = true] ], "\n")
printLn(joined)

@PB____ yeah, that's what I was trying to avoid. I'd rather just type the extra "\n" and save the extra syntax and compute cycles. Thank you though!
