Description​

The append statement can be used inside a loop statement. This error is generated when append occurs outside a loop.

Remedy: use List concatenation to append an element to a list outside a loop.

Examples​

rascal>for(int i <- [1..5]) append i*i;
list[int]: [1,4,9,16]

Using append outside a loop gives an error:

rascal>append 3;
