Cairo Arrays
Overview
Explain Cairo Array semantics, method choices, and safe access patterns.
Quick Use
- Read
references/arrays.md before answering.
- Provide minimal, compile-ready snippets using
ArrayTrait or array!.
- Call out whether
get or at is appropriate for bounds safety.
Response Checklist
- Use
ArrayTrait::new() or array![] to construct arrays.
- Use
append to add to the end and pop_front to remove from the front.
- Use
get for Option-based bounds handling; use at or arr[index] when panicking is desired.
- Mention
Span when read-only views are needed.
Example Requests
- "Why can't I modify an element in a Cairo array?"
- "When should I use
get vs at?"
- "How do I create an array literal?"
