For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
lappend huge data

Posted by dee00zee (dee00zee), 12 May 2005
let say i have a huge data
example 1 2 3 until 1000

and i want to append these data to a list.

lappend lst 1 2 3 until 1000

how to do these?
because to lappend every element until 1000 is inefficient.
any short cut to this?

Do you actually need a list?  In your example, you talk about the numbers from 1 to 1000, and if I wanted to iterate go through each of those numbers in turn I wouldn't bother with a list - I would just use a for loop and generate them "on the fly".

i want to return those number to the main program

Hmm.  I'm still don't think I'm fully with it.  If you need to return the list from a proc, then it only takes 2ms (and that's on my old laptop) to generate the list - technically inefficient perhaps but no great problem in most applications.   You could store the list in a global variable to save the need to regenerate it every time if you need to return the same list more than once.
