(defmacro match
|
||||
```
|
||||
Pattern matching. Match an expression x against
|
||||
any number of cases. Each case is a pattern to match against, followed
|
||||
by an expression to evaluate to if that case is matched. A pattern that is
|
||||
a symbol will match anything, binding x's value to that symbol. An array
|
||||
will match only if all of it's elements match the corresponding elements in
|
||||
x. A table or struct will match if all values match with the corresponding
|
||||
values in x. A tuple pattern will match if it's first element matches, and the following
|
||||
elements are treated as predicates and are true. The last special case is
|
||||
the '_ symbol, which is a wildcard that will match any value without creating a binding.
|
||||
Any other value pattern will only match if it is equal to x.
|
||||
Pattern matching. Match an expression `x` against any number of cases.
|
||||
Each case is a pattern to match against, followed by an expression to
|
||||
evaluate to if that case is matched. Legal patterns are:
|
||||
|
||||
* symbol -- a pattern that is a symbol will match anything, binding `x`'s
|
||||
value to that symbol.
|
||||
|
||||
* array -- an array will match only if all of its elements match the
|
||||
corresponding elements in `x`.
|
||||
|
||||
* table or struct -- a table or struct will match if all values match with
|
||||
the corresponding values in `x`.
|
||||
|
||||
* tuple -- a tuple pattern will match if its first element matches, and the
|
||||
following elements are treated as predicates and are true.
|
||||
|
||||
* `_` symbol -- the last special case is the `_` symbol, which is a wildcard
|
||||
that will match any value without creating a binding.
|
||||
|
||||
Any other value pattern will only match if it is equal to `x`.
