Hey thanks guys - while it certainly makes sense when you think about it, I was
kind of hoping we had something that was much more readable and obvious. It
seems strange that when we have lots of esoteric things in collection, that
something which is quite common to do isn’t there. I was kind of
Holger,
I'll write most of my comments inline.
Yesterday I moved my code to https://github.com/svenvc/NeoDNS using Tonel
format, to make it a bit easier to consume. I also did a couple of minor
updates while going over the functionality. Note the 'my code' is in the
package Net-Protocols-DNS-E

But the beauty of Smalltalk is that, if you need to use a particular
structure frequently, you can make it an object just by subclassing
something useful. In this case, you could create CircularList by subclassing
SequenceableCollection and re-implementing #before and #after (and maybe
tidying
Hi Peter - yes of course you are right that its malleable, I guess I’m often
suprised about the things we leave out and then discover weird things we’ve put
in.
I had a quick look at LinkedList (I should have thought of that) - I might be
able to do something with that (and this is now more out

Hi Tim. Sorry you crashed your image. I owe you an apology, because when I
looked at the code for LinkedList, I thought there was something odd, but I
dismissed it thinking ' they must have thought of that!' I think the problem
is that LinkedList inherits #after: from SequenceableCollection, meanin
No guarantees, but it might help if you provided a detailed recipe for
anyone to reproduce this.

No problem Peter - I’ll raise a bug (as it happened, I had save my image a few
hours before and epicea got back the few things I had changed since).
Rather strangely - even just trying to debug “myList next” (as in right click
and pick debug it) seems to hang my image too (I didn’t expect that).
I would do it as an iterator (a circular one).
The structure of the underlying list is irrelevant here (as long as it is
sequenceable), IMO.

Thanks for moving it to GitHub!

Going back to your original question, the answer is there all the time but
buried in the enormous method dictionaries of the Collection subclasses. If
you look at SequenceableCollection>>atWrap: you will see that it does
exactly what you want.
To get the item before the first, i.e. the zeroth
Haha, great discussion, great find. Amazing that all these things are just
already there.
Pharo/Smalltalk programming is really 'studying the problem and the existing
system, moving it to the desired state with as little work as possible' -
including the use of frameworks and libraries.

Peter - nice spot. I’m glad we kept this thread running as I keep learning more
of the nooks and crannies.
I keep finding that between odd naming (although in this case I’m shocked I
missed that one - I need to get better at using spotter) and unfortunate method
categorisation, that I struggle
We could probably mine this forever to get interesting connections, but I
shall restrict myself to three (and then shut up).
a. The code for SequenceableCollection>>atWrap: is a single line, which
exactly reproduces Tim's original method. Maybe a hint for programming
strategy - if code is mysteriou
I’m wondering if there are better ways of finding things that I am missing.
In another thread I was asking about how to wrap the lookup of an item at an
index in a collection.
I had browsed the collection hierarchy and not seen anything (I kept coming
back to the fact that I dont find the proto
