Generating Collections

In most cases collections are returned from methods (see method mos). If in contrast collections should be generated explicitly, the following syntax is used:

<Collection-Type>{<Object1>,<Object2>,...}

For <Collection-type, <List>, <Set> or <Bag> should be used.

Examples of generating collections are given in the following table:

Example formula Result
List {1,2,3} [1, 2, 3]
List {1,2,3.3} [1, 2, 3, 3]
List {1,2,3,3,List{4,5}} [1, 2, 3, 3, [4, 5]]
Set {1,2,3} [2, 1, 3]
Set {1,2,3.3} [2, 1, 3]
Set{1,2,3,3,List{4,5}} [1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]
Bag {1,2,3,3} [2, 1, 3, 3]
