exact same thing as the "item of" block, just written in an unnecessarily confusing way and possibly slower

EDIT: i imported the block into the editor, it has a default value of 1 for the right slot, so this guess is probably what you were thinking or wherever you got this block from

Summary

Get the index of thing in list

Off-topic: I found this on wikipedia :slight_smile: Add_all_numbers_block

Off topic, your "Details" section headings seems to be localized (PL).

Summary

If I saw that, I would guess it would grab the index of thing in the list. If the list input wasn't a list input, I'd have no idea what it would do.

6
My guess

If thing is in the list, it returns the (first if thing is in there more than once) index of thing in the list; otherwise, 0.
e.g.

set [list] to (list [Alpha] [Bravo] [Charlie] [Delta] [Bravo])
((list) index [Alpha]) = 1
((list) index [Bravo]) = 2
((list) index [Charlie]) = 3
((list) index [Delta]) = 4
((list) index [Echo]) = 0
7
Summary

This reporter, I feel like, should report the value at the key of “thing” in the provided dictionary. If the key does not exist, then the reporter returns an error.

8
Summary

Right now? Judging that its a list block, it would say it indexes the item in a list, like the index block

If i didn't know what the index block did, then i would not know.

9
Summary

Report the index of thing (1st appearance) within the referenced list.

Thanks for all the replies :slight_smile:

Summary

Most people thought it would give the same as index of (thing) in (list) which is what I wanted to communicate

11

OK … so why bother inventing a new block mimicking an existing Snap! primitive?

12

I was looking for a physically smaller reporter to do the same job

13

How about the APL-ish: untitled script pic 19 ? :slight_smile:

14

The index of x in list

16

:slight_smile:

17

Nice but I don't think that will mean much to most people.

18

But @qw23 you got me thinking - is there an exisiting APL reporter that returns the index and there is :slight_smile:

untitled script pic (57)

so maybe I could use
untitled script pic (60)
