array into cluster

[exo]

If I have a cluster of 30 elements and an array of 10 elements which I want to insert as individual elements into the cluster starting at position 15, I think I can say the I want to put the elements into the middle of the cluster. 🙂

This is still not enough information. Is every cluster element a string?

[exo]

No, otherwise I would use an array.

[altenbach]

Well, as others have already said, you just need to index out the elements and then bundle them into the correct place...

e.g. as follows:

Or with a for loop as I said.
Thanks

Overall, I recommend to rethink your data structures. For example if your middle 10 string elements always go together, you should maybe use a cluster that has only 21 elements, where one of the elements is a string array of size 10, for example.

Also name your elements so you can use "bundle by name" for better self-documantation and cleaner code.

Don't think I can do that. Thanks.

Why use a FOR loop if you can do it in a single atomic operation?

Loops don't work well with clusters. A loop is doable but pretty pointless and complicated..

I'll take your word for it. Thanks again.

Heres a FOR loop solution.... but why????? 😄 (I would not recommend this)
