Tables

The process library provides Table (1D), Table (2D) and Table for arbitrary control values. Indices start at zero. These processes are not spreadsheets or file recorders.

Table (1D)

Send an index to Read to retrieve a cell on Output. Set takes [index, value] and grows the table if needed. Insert uses the same pair but shifts following cells. Append, Prepend, Erase, Pop front and Pop back edit the sequence. Resize changes its length; Fill replaces existing cells with one value.

Dump sends the complete list on Output. Front, Back, Size and All expose the current sequence. Hold Clear to empty it. Invalid reads produce an invalid value rather than an out-of-range cell.

Table (2D)

Read takes [row, column]; Set cell takes [row, column, value]. Read row and Read column emit lists on Row and Column. Set, append, insert, erase and clear operations are available for rows and columns. Resize takes [rows, columns]; Transpose exchanges the axes. Rows, Columns and Size report dimensions and total cell count. Dump sends the complete nested table through Output.

Table (N dimensions)

Set Dimensions, then Resize with one extent per dimension. Read and Clear cell take an index list; Set cell takes those indices followed by the value. Shape, Size, Fill, Clear and Dump provide inspection and bulk operations. The maximum supported dimensionality depends on the build (four with GCC, sixteen otherwise).

Availability and limitations

Some compiler-constrained builds omit all table processes. Although Lock and Preserve controls are currently exposed, the implementations do not implement write locking or saved-content persistence through those controls. Do not rely on them to protect or archive data. Use CSV recorder for device recording or Value serialization for structured interchange.
