mapinto

mapinto( 
l_resultSequence 
g_function 
({l_sequences}*)
) 
=> l_resultSequence

Description

Applies g_function to the elements of l_sequences and destructively modifies the l_resultSequence. The first argument is a sequence that receives the results of the mapping. If l_resultSequence and the other argument sequences are not all of the same length, the mapping stops when the shortest of l_resultSequence or l_sequences is exhausted.

If l_resultSequence is longer than l_sequences, extra elements at the end of l_resultSequence are unchanged.
