Description

x1[x2] : x3
If x1 is a string, x1[x2] produces a one-character string consisting of character x2 of x1. x1[x2] produces a variable if x1 is a variable.

If x1 is a list or record, x1[x2] produces element x2 of x1.

If x1 is a table, x1[x2] produces the element corresponding to key x2 of x1.

In all cases, x2 may be nonpositive.

In all cases, the subscripting operation fails if the subscript is out of range.
 
Parameters
x1
string, list, table or record
x2
string for table or record. integer for string or list
returns
element or fail
 
Errors
101 x1 is string, list, or a record, but x2 not integer
114 x1 not string, list, table, or record
