So I'm relatively new to nim, and have been using generics to great effects.
Really enjoying the experience so far. Now I wanted to do something different
depending on the type parameter, like this:
proc createMyArray*(N: static[int]): array[N, int] =
if N == 2:
result = [1, 2]
if N == 3:
result = [1, 2, 3]
Run
which results in errors like this `Error: type mismatch: got <array[0..1, int]>
but expected 'array[0..2, int]'`. Which makes sense, no matter what I plug in
for N, one of the result lines does not have the correct syntax. So I thought
using templates might help:
proc createMyArray*(N: static[int]): array[N, int] =
template choice(N: static[int]): untyped =
if N == 2:
result = [1, 2]
if N == 3:
result = [1, 2, 3]
choice(N)
Run
which unfortunately results in the same error. I have tried adding `static` and
`const` at various points, but realized I had no idea what I was doing and
should rather ask. So how do I do this?
