List length limit?
I have a program that is creating a list of the x and y velocities of a creature of a given number of iterations. I've noticed that when the length of my velocity list gets longer than about 45 indexes, it starts to behave oddly. Any numbers that are added after this don't show up when printed, and the end of the list stop abruptly without closing the braces. Sometimes extra characters or punctuation are also added to the end. Here's an example:
{ { 0.481415, 0.029036 }, { 0.911895, 0.033544 }, { 1.245894, 0.036127 },
[...]
{ 1.106270, 0.618612 }, { 1.372862, 0.667099 }, { 1.494200, 0.719310 }, { 1.4510 }?
Do breve lists have some sort of length limit? If not, can anyone come up with an explanation for this behavior?
yikes!
There is no length limit on lists, so that's somewhat alarming behavior. I'm betting (or hoping) that the problem is not an issue with the lists themselves, but more likely a bug in printing the lists. I'm assuming that's the problem because I've used far larger lists than that without any problems.
Try accessing the elements of the list at the end -- can you access them normally? If so, it's probably a printing bug and not an actual list bug. Post the results here so I can know where to look for the problem.

I'm able to access the list
I'm able to access the list elements, although I can't verify if they're correct (probably are). So it more than likely is just a printing error. Thanks! :)
