swordfish.vector(data: Any = None, *, type: DataType = None) → Vector#
swordfish.vector(*, type: DataType = None, size: int = 0, capacity: int = 1, default: Any = None) → Vector

Creates a Swordfish Vector from a Python object or initializes one with specified type, size, capacity, and default value.

There are two modes of initialization:

  • If data is provided, it converts the given Python object into a Vector of the specified type.

  • If data is not provided, a new Vector is created with the specified type, size, capacity, and default value.

Parameters:

  • data (Any, optional) – The input data to initialize the Vector. Defaults to None.

  • type (DataType, optional) – The data type for the Vector. Defaults to None.

  • size (int, optional) – The number of elements in the Vector (used when data is None). Defaults to 0.

  • capacity (int, optional) – The initial capacity of the Vector (used when data is None). Defaults to 1.

  • default (Any, optional) – The value used to fill the Vector (used when data is None). Defaults to None.

Returns:

A Swordfish Vector initialized based on the provided arguments.

Return type:

Vector

Examples

Creating a Vector from existing data:
>>> import swordfish as sf
>>> x = sf.vector([1, 2, 3])
>>> x
Vector([1,2,3], type=LONG)
Creating an empty Vector with specific type, size, capacity, and default value:
>>> y = sf.vector(type="INT", size=3, capacity=5, default=0)
>>> y
Vector([0,0,0], type=INT)
