Returns the number of values in the current argument values.

is_bool

Returns true if the value at the given position is a boolean.

is_int

Returns true if the value at the given position is an integer.

is_double

Returns true if the value at the given position is a double.

is_interval

Returns true if the value at the given position is an interval.

is_collection

Returns true if the value at the given position is a collection (list or set).

is_array

Returns true if the value at the given position is an array.

get

Returns the value at the given position.

Special methods

__len__

Returns the number of values in the current argument values.

__getitem__

Returns the value at the given position.

Instance methods

LSExternalArgumentValues.count()

Returns the number of values in the current argument values.

LSExternalArgumentValues.is_bool(pos)

Returns true if the value at the given position is a boolean. You can retrieve the value with get().

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

True if the value at the given position is a boolean.

Return type:

bool

LSExternalArgumentValues.is_int(pos)

Returns true if the value at the given position is an integer. You can retrieve the value with get().

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

True if the value at the given position is an integer.

Return type:

bool

LSExternalArgumentValues.is_double(pos)

Returns true if the value at the given position is a double. You can retrieve the value with get().

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

True if the value at the given position is a double.

Return type:

bool

LSExternalArgumentValues.is_interval(pos)

Returns true if the value at the given position is an interval. You can retrieve the value with get().

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

True if the value at the given position is an interval.

Return type:

bool

LSExternalArgumentValues.is_collection(pos)

Returns true if the value at the given position is a collection (list or set). You can retrieve the value with get().

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

True if the value at the given position is an array.

Return type:

bool

LSExternalArgumentValues.is_array(pos)

Returns true if the value at the given position is an array. You can retrieve the value with get().

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

True if the value at the given position is an array.

Return type:

bool

LSExternalArgumentValues.get(pos)

Returns the value at the given position. The returned value can be a boolean, an integer, a double, a LSInterval, a LSCollection or a LSArray.

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

Value

Return type:

bool, int, double, LSInterval, LSCollection or LSArray

Special operators and methods

LSExternalArgumentValues.__len__()

Returns the number of values in the current argument values. This method allows users to call len() function directly on the external argument values without using the count() method.

LSExternalArgumentValues.__getitem__(pos)

Returns the value at the given position. This method allows users to use [] operator directly on the external argument values without using the get() method.

Parameters:

pos – Position of the value to query.

Returns:

Value

Return type:

int, double, LSArray or LSCollection
