list to values

[jopython]

Lets say I have a function which accepts 2 strings and three integers

Code: Select all

e.g
(myfunc "str1" "str2" 3 4 5)

However I have a list which contains these integer values.
(setq myvalues '(3 4 5))

Code: Select all

How can I convert the content of myvalues list to a set of values so that i can pass them to "myfunc" as arguments?

Like this:

Code: Select all

(setq myvalues '(3 4 5))
(myfunc "str1" "str2" (myvalues 0)(myvalues 1)(myvalues 2))

?

HPW,

This is not possible if myvalues has a 'unknown' number of elements.

try using the following three functions:

Code: Select all

(define (my-func s1 s2 a b c)
  (dup (string s1 s2 a b) c))

> (my-func "o" "-" 1984 9 3)
"o-19849o-19849o-19849"

> (apply my-func (cons "o" (cons "-" '(1984 9 3))))
"o-19849o-19849o-19849"

> (apply my-func (append '("o" "-") '(1984 9 3)))
"o-19849o-19849o-19849"
