Using the "values-from" primitive

[Michèle Grindat]

Hello NetLogo community,

I'm trying to create a list out of a patch variable. Each patch has a variable called "households " which contains the number of households on this patch. I would like to have these numbers as a list, e.g with a world of 8 patches it would be something like [ 0 4 3 5 1 0 0 2 ]. My google research lead me to the Primitives Dictionary where it says I could use the "values-from" primitive. But when I tried to implement it in my code (using NetLogo version 6.2.2.) it doesn't recognize it as a primitive. Does the primitive only exist in older versions of NetLogo and if so, does anyone know an alternative to the "values-from" primitive with which I can store patch variables in a list?

Thanks in advance!

Michèle

Hey Michèle,

The `values-from` primitive was replaced with `of` in NetLogo 4.0.  You can read more about it in the transition guide:  http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/transition.html#new-of-syntax

And the current dictionary entry:  http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/dictionary.html#of

Hey Jeremy

Thank you very much for the information! I was able to solve my problem with the "of" primitive. 

Greetings
