Description
A substitute pennant repeats a numbered flag position in an already resolved signal group.
A substitute pennant repeats a numbered flag position in an already resolved signal group.1
The original flag class and group interpretation must be established before this positional lookup.
When to use Substitute Pennant Position Decoder
Use this tool to apply the stated substitute pennant position decoder operation with an explicit input and unit basis.
How to use Substitute Pennant Position Decoder and how it works
- Establish the measurement basis and units described above.
- Enter actualOriginalGroupFlagLabels, actualSubstitutePennantOrdinal and run the tool.
- Read result.repeatedOriginalFlag using the output meanings below.
- If input is rejected, correct the stated type, range, ordering or alignment issue and rerun; review successful results under the declared convention.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualOriginalGroupFlagLabels | Original group flag labels, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | array of string | required; dense; align related rows as specified; at most 128 strings; 128 UTF-16 units each; further conditions in the algorithm |
| actualSubstitutePennantOrdinal | Substitute pennant ordinal, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; integer from 1 to 3; further conditions in the algorithm |
Require substitute ordinal 1–3 and enough original labels, each one uppercase letter or digit. Return the label at ordinal minus one; the implementation does not check that all labels share a class.
repeated flag = original group[ordinal − 1] Apply the declared units, ordering and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the declared output fields. | object |
| result.repeatedOriginalFlag | Selected label from the already resolved original group. | string |

}Limitations and assumptions
The output applies the declared operation to the values you supply. Establish the measurement basis, units, coefficients and any caller-selected rules before interpreting it. The tool does not independently collect or verify observations or decide whether a model or reference applies.
Supply explicit required fields with the documented types and dense aligned arrays. Unknown fields, wrong types and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Branch-specific constraints are explained above. A successful false boolean, negative signed difference, empty slice or unresolved tie is distinct from an input error. Very large inputs or outputs may be rejected by shared resource limits.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related operation, use Signal Flag Letter to Meaning Lookup. Single-letter signal flags convey a bounded set of standalone messages in this implementation.
For a related operation, use Numeric Pennant Value Decoder. Numeric pennants can be represented by already identified digit-name labels.
