fill()

Fills elements of array with value from start up to, but not including, end.

Implementation

Args: array: List to fill. value: Value to fill with. start: Index to start filling. Defaults to ``0``. end: Index to end filling. Defaults to ``len(array)``. Returns: Filled array.

Example

fill([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 0)

Expected output: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Alternative usage:

fill([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 0, 1, 3)

Expected output: [1, 0, 0, 4, 5]

Source Code

                        def fill(
    array: List[T], value: T, start: int = 0, end: Optional[int] = None
) -> List[T]:
    length = len(array)
    if length == 0:
        return array
    s = start if start >= 0 else max(length + start, 0)
    e = end if end is not None else length
    e = e if e >= 0 else max(length + e, 0)
    s = min(max(s, 0), length)
    e = min(max(e, 0), length)
    for i in builtins.range(s, e):
        array[i] = value
    return array
