I love fudge! Observe below, we can now assign to a linear tuple. The triple loop indicates that the current linear order makes the first index move most quickly. It's not instantly clear if this is arbitrary, correct, cleanest, expected, etc etc. If you consider an array of arrays: var a = ( (1,2,3), // row 1 (4,5,6), // row 2 (7,8,9) // row 3 ); then a . i first selects a row, then a . i . j selects a column in the row. To get the elements in the order 1-9 you would advance j most quickly in an inner loop. This is the *opposite* of the current ordering. However note in prefix form: j (i a) the j comes first (even though i is applied first). Please note this is still a step towards generalised array handling. It's still not complete by any means! ///////////////////// fun ==: 3 * 3 -> bool = "$1==$2"; fun ==: 4 * 4 -> bool = "$1==$2"; fun ==: 5 * 5 -> bool = "$1==$2"; var i : 3 = case 1 of 3; var j : 4 = case 2 of 4; var k : 5 = case 3 of 5; var ijk : 3 * 4 * 5 = i,j,k; fun str (x:3*4*5) => (x :>> int) . str; fun str (x:3) => (x :>> int) . str; fun str (x:4) => (x :>> int) . str; fun str (x:5) => (x :>> int) . str; println$ "ijk=" + str ijk; println$ ijk . 0 .str; println$ ijk . 1 .str; println$ ijk . 2 .str; assert ijk . 0 == i; assert ijk . 1 == j; assert ijk . 2 == k; assert ijk . 0 :>> int == 1; assert ijk . 1 :>> int == 2; assert ijk . 2 :>> int == 3; for var kk in 0 upto 4 do k = kk :>> 5; for var jj in 0 upto 3 do j = jj :>> 4; for var ii in 0 upto 2 do i = ii :>> 3; ijk = i,j,k; println$ ijk.0.str + "," + ijk.1.str + "," + ijk.2.str+" encoding=" + (ijk :>>int) .str; done done done println$ str ijk; ijk.1 = case 2 of 4; println$ str ijk; ///////////////////////////////// Handling coercion in egen 3 * 4 * 5 -> int ijk=43 1 2 3 0,0,0 encoding=0 1,0,0 encoding=1 2,0,0 encoding=2 0,1,0 encoding=3 1,1,0 encoding=4 2,1,0 encoding=5 0,2,0 encoding=6 1,2,0 encoding=7 2,2,0 encoding=8 0,3,0 encoding=9 1,3,0 encoding=10 2,3,0 encoding=11 0,0,1 encoding=12 1,0,1 encoding=13 2,0,1 encoding=14 0,1,1 encoding=15 1,1,1 encoding=16 2,1,1 encoding=17 0,2,1 encoding=18 1,2,1 encoding=19 2,2,1 encoding=20 0,3,1 encoding=21 1,3,1 encoding=22 2,3,1 encoding=23 0,0,2 encoding=24 1,0,2 encoding=25 2,0,2 encoding=26 0,1,2 encoding=27 1,1,2 encoding=28 2,1,2 encoding=29 0,2,2 encoding=30 1,2,2 encoding=31 2,2,2 encoding=32 0,3,2 encoding=33 1,3,2 encoding=34 2,3,2 encoding=35 0,0,3 encoding=36 1,0,3 encoding=37 2,0,3 encoding=38 0,1,3 encoding=39 1,1,3 encoding=40 2,1,3 encoding=41 0,2,3 encoding=42 1,2,3 encoding=43 2,2,3 encoding=44 0,3,3 encoding=45 1,3,3 encoding=46 2,3,3 encoding=47 0,0,4 encoding=48 1,0,4 encoding=49 2,0,4 encoding=50 0,1,4 encoding=51 1,1,4 encoding=52 2,1,4 encoding=53 0,2,4 encoding=54 1,2,4 encoding=55 2,2,4 encoding=56 0,3,4 encoding=57 1,3,4 encoding=58 2,3,4 encoding=59 59 56 /////////////////////////////// -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
