Lists

I am in need of a little help. I'm writing a program which requires a container that can expand, while being able to retain the former information. It would seem like a List would be the way to go. But I can't seem to figure out how a List stores info. Does it merely link to info, or can it actually store it.

Can I create a Local object, and add it to a list, and then have that object be destructed while retaining the info in the list?

No.

OK, that would be lists and arrays (using slicing) and maps. Depending on how you want to access the data lists seem a viable choice.


Yes using a TLINK.

No. A link is stored in the list.
Yes. The link will stop it from being Garbage collected.

So I can do something like:

Method AddSubSkill(NewSubSkillName:String, NewSubSkillValue:Int)
Local NewSubSkill:TSkill    'A Type that contains a value, and a Name.
NewSubSkill.Name = NewSubSkillName
NewSubSkill.Value = NewSubSkillValue
ListAddLast SubSkills, NewSubSkill
End Method

And that would work?

Think about this carefully and you'll see the two are mutually exclusive.
