ColdFusion - Cheatsheet 101 - Basic Functions

You don't have hours to spend ramping up on ColdFusion.
You need to get in. Get out and deliver. That's why I wrote this cheatsheet from the previous posts.

It's all the basic functions: Lists, Strings, Arrays and Structures.

But Sarg... you started with Lists. Why didn't you start with Strings first?

That would make more sense, right? No. Absolutely not. Your life consists of Lists far more than Strings.

Case in-point: Your life.

Answer these questions.
Where are you at the grocery store? In a line. That's a list.
Gas station paying cash? A line... a list.
And your tasty chicken strips at Chick-fil-A?
In the fastest line on planet earth because they have THE GREATEST customer service! That's a list too.

When I was a kid at school, we had a lunch line.
Every day, more than hundred kids.
I saw other kids cut-in AT THE START of the line. Right at the start of the line.
What's that? Besides being just wrong.

It's called a prepend. Adding to the front.
ColdFusion has those functions built-in for Lists and Arrays.
Merry Christmas!  See listPrepend and arrayPrepend
