Type:
LISTINIT: integer x object -> list
Call syntax:
LISTINIT(nrOfClones,
original)
Description:
The constructor function LISTINIT returns a list
consisting of nrOfClones
copies of objekt original.
This function should be used to initialize lists of fixed length
(arrays) rather then iteratively constructing these for efficiency
reasons.
Error conditions:
For negative values of nrOfClones, LISTINIT
returns an empty list without causing an error condition.
Example:
> LISTINIT(3,0)
Result= LIST(0,0,0)
> LISTINIT(3,"hallo")
Result= LIST("hallo",
"hallo",
"hallo")
> LISTINIT(-3,"arg")
Result= LIST()
