Lists
Lists define arbitrary sequences of CUE values. A list can be closed or open ended. Open-ended lists may have some predefined elements, but may have additional, possibly typed elements.
In the example we define IP
to be a list of 4
elements of type uint8
, which
is a predeclared value of >=0 & <=255
.
PrivateIP
defines the IP ranges defined for private use.
Note that as it is already defined to be an IP
, the length of the list
is already fixed at 4
and we do not have to specify a value for all elements.
Also note that instead of writing ...uint8
, we could have written ...
as the type constraint is already already implied by IP
.
The output contains a valid private IP address (myIP
)
and an invalid one (yourIP
).
