setfield

Arguments

x

matrix of any possible types

l

list, tlist or mlist variable

i

field index, see insertion for more details.

Description

This function is an equivalent of l(i)=x syntax for field extraction with the only difference that it also applies to mlist objects.

Examples

l=list(1,'qwerw',%s)
l(1)='Changed'
l(0)='Added'
l(6)=['one more';'added']

a=hypermat([2,2,2],rand(1:2^3));// hypermatrices are coded using mlists
setfield(3,1:8,a);a // set the field value to 1:8
