catos
It is often useful to convert arrays of characters into strings. The
standard function catos
provides the following interface:
fun catos = (char[] chars) string: { … }
It builds a string containing the characters in chars, and returns it. Examples:
(poke) catos (['a','b','c']) "abc" (poke) catos (['\0']) ""
Note that if the passed array contains a NULL
character
'\0'
then no further characters are processed. For example:
(poke) catos (['f','o','o','\0','b','a','r']) "foo"
