Interesting List Scripts

Green4TFG

Me and some of my friends are doing a pass the game challenge and I recently got someones game to work on. Can someone please tell me what this means/does?

<(item (0) of [list v] :: list) = [0]>

LUKiCREATE

Item 0 of any list returns “” (blank string). Therefore,

<(item (0) of [list v]) = (0)>

would return “false” because empty strings do not equal 0. If you meant any item of the list, then it would return true if the item equaled 0 and false if not.

That is a boolean; you can tell by the sharp pointy ends. It has an equal sign meaning it's checking if the value on the left, is equivalent to the value on the right. For this case, this block is checking if item 0 of list, is equivalent to 0.

I believe that this should return false since item 0 of a list is a blank space. Last time I checked, a blank space does NOT equal 0.

This is very helpful but what confused me is that when item 1 of the list equals 1, it is true. I might end up asking my friend who sent me this if he knows how or if it just works.

Well, if item 1 of the “list” list is “1”, then this would return true.

Don't title topics something like “HELP ME!!!”. It's not helpful, and won't get you as many responses.
Don't post in topics where the latest post is over ~2 months old, unless you have something critical to add. Especially in topics that are several years old- it isn't helpful, and is known as necroposting.
Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.

Oh thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense. Well, not the way that it works but the fact of what it does. Thanks!
