fill!

fill!(obj, index, value)

obj can be a vector, tuple, matrix, dictionary or table.

index

• If obj is a vector, tuple or matrix, index is an integer scalar/vector;
• If obj is a dictionary, index is a string scalar/vector indicating dictionary keys;
• If obj is a table, index is a string scalar/vector indicating column names.

value is a scalar/vector.

Assign value to the elements of obj at index. It is equivalent to obj[index]=value.

Example 1. vector

a=[1,2,3,4];
fill!(a,3,12);
a;
// output
[1,2,3,12]

fill!(a,[0,1],[10,11]);
// output
[10,11,3,12]

a=([1,2,3],["a","b","c"]);
fill!(a,0,[4,2]);
a[0];
[4,2]

// Create a tuple with 20 elements. Each element is a NULL of floating type.
array(ANY, 20).fill!(0:20, float());
// which is equivalent to
t = array(ANY, 20);
t[0:20] = float()

m=1..12$3:4;
fill!(m,2,5);
m;

fill!(m,[1,2],5);
m;

fill!(m,(1,),9);
m;

m.fill!((1,2),10).fill!((2,2),12);
m;

t=table(1 2 3 as id,10.2 45.2 12.3 as val);
fill!(t,`id,4 5 6);
t;

fill!(t,`qty,452 142 48);
t;

d=dict(`a`b`c,1 2 3);
fill!(d,`a,4);
d;
// output
c->3
a->4
b->2
