💖 NAME 💖

mchartable_set_range — bestie, this is the one that paints a whole range of characters with one value, in one go ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int mchartable_set_range (MCharTable * table, int from, int to, void * val)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: you've got a chartable, right? And you want a bunch of characters in it to all hold the same value. Not one at a time like some kind of villain — a whole stretch of them, together, at once. That's literally this function. Main character energy fr fr 💅

The mchartable_set_range() function assigns the value val to the characters from from to to (both inclusive, bestie — don't forget the endpoints, they're invited to the party too 🫶) in the chartable table.

So yeah, it's giving "fill in this range, slay, done". No cap.

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

  • If the operation was successful, mchartable_set_range() returns 0. Iconic. We love a zero. 👑
  • Otherwise it returns -1 and assigns an error code to the external variable merror_code. So check that variable, okay? It's the one holding the receipts. 🧾
  • Special lil case: if from is greater than to, mchartable_set_range() returns immediately without an error. Like, it just leaves. No drama, no error code, nothing. Not me thinking that's lowkey the funniest possible behaviour 😭
