In other words, any list is a sequence, and any array is a sequence. The common property that all sequences have is that each is an ordered collection of elements. </p> <p>An <em>array</em> is a fixed-length object with a slot for each of its elements. All the elements are accessible in constant time. The four types of arrays are strings, vectors, char-tables and bool-vectors. </p> <p>A list is a sequence of elements, but it is not a single primitive object; it is made of cons cells, one cell per element. Finding the <var>n</var>th element requires looking through <var>n</var> cons cells, so elements farther from the beginning of the list take longer to access. But it is possible to add elements to the list, or remove elements. </p> <p>The following diagram shows the relationship between these types: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example"> _____________________________________________ - | | - | Sequence | - | ______ ________________________________ | - | | | | | | - | | List | | Array | | - | | | | ________ ________ | | - | |______| | | | | | | | - | | | Vector | | String | | | - | | |________| |________| | | - | | ____________ _____________ | | - | | | | | | | | - | | | Char-table | | Bool-vector | | | - | | |____________| |_____________| | | - | |________________________________| | - |_____________________________________________| -</pre> -</div> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="sequence-functions" accesskey="1">Sequence Functions</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Functions that accept any kind of sequence. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="arrays" accesskey="2">Arrays</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Characteristics of arrays in Emacs Lisp. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="array-functions" accesskey="3">Array Functions</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Functions specifically for arrays. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="vectors" accesskey="4">Vectors</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Special characteristics of Emacs Lisp vectors. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="vector-functions" accesskey="5">Vector Functions</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Functions specifically for vectors. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="char_002dtables" accesskey="6">Char-Tables</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">How to work with char-tables. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="bool_002dvectors" accesskey="7">Bool-Vectors</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">How to work with bool-vectors. </td> -</tr> <tr> -<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="rings" accesskey="8">Rings</a> -</td> -<td> </td> -<td align="left" valign="top">Managing a fixed-size ring of objects. </td> -</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> - <p class="_attribution-p"> - Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> - <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Sequences-Arrays-Vectors.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Sequences-Arrays-Vectors.html</a> - </p> -</div> |
