None or List

If the operation was in-place then None is returned, otherwise return a new List instance containing the new data.

Examples:

>>> f = cf.List()
>>> f.set_data([1, 2, 3])
>>> f.has_data()
True
>>> f.get_data()
<CF Data(3): [1, 2, 3]>
>>> f.data
<CF Data(3): [1, 2, 3]>
>>> f.del_data()
<CF Data(3): [1, 2, 3]>
>>> g = f.set_data([4, 5, 6], inplace=False)
>>> g.data
<CF Data(3): [4, 5, 6]>
>>> f.has_data()
False
>>> print(f.get_data(None))
None
>>> print(f.del_data(None))
