Subject: how would you do this in rc
Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1991 18:09:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <91Dec19.190941est.2742@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu> (raw)
You have a list l and a string s. What's the most efficient way to not
merely find out if s exists in l, but to find its index in l if it does?
Is there an efficient method to do this? If there isn't, should there be? :)
[probably not; rc is not a general programming language, after all.]
