SEQUENCE OF Type

The SEQUENCE OF type allows the definition of either an arbitrary or fixed number of items of the same type, where order is important. The definition includes only the type of the SEQUENCE item, and does not name the component, for example:

Counters ::= SEQUENCE OF INTEGER

In NCL, SEQUENCE OF items are referenced by index only, within their parent structure. In the example above, the following index values are used to reference the sequence items of a component named counters of type Counters:

counter.{1}
counter.{2}
...
counter.{n}
