Class Name

StringList

Description

Helper class for a list of String objects. Lists are designed to have some features of ArrayList, but to maintain the simplicity and efficiency of working with arrays. Functions such as sort() and shuffle() always act on the list itself. To get a sorted copy, use list.copy().sort().

Examples

StringList inventory;

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  inventory = new StringList();
  inventory.append("coffee");
  inventory.append("flour");
  inventory.append("tea");
  println(inventory);
  noLoop();
  fill(0);
  textAlign(CENTER);
}

void draw() {
  String item = inventory.get(2);
  text(item, width/2, height/2);
}
