(picrin regexp)
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
- **(regexp ptrn [flags])**
|

Compiles pattern string into a regexp object. A string flags may contain any of #\g, #\i, #\m.
|
|
|
|
- **(regexp? obj)**

|
|
|
Judges if obj is a regexp object or not.
|
|
|
|
- **(regexp-match re input)**
|
|
|
|
Returns two values: a list of match strings, and a list of match indeces.
|
|
|
|
- **(regexp-replace re input txt)**
|
|
- **(regexp-split re input)**
|
|
|
|
|
|
(picrin control)
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Delimited control operators.
|
|
|
|
- **(reset h)**
|
|
- **(shift k)**
|
|
|
|
(picrin control list)
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Monadic list operators.
|
|
|
|
The triple of for/in/yield enables you to write a list operation in a very easy and simple code. One of the best examples is list composition::
|
|
|
|
(for (let ((a (in '(1 2 3)))
|
|
(b (in '(2 3 4))))
|
|
(yield (+ a b))))
|
|
|
|
;=> (5 6 7 6 7 8 7 8 9)
|
|
|
|
All monadic operations are done in *for* macro. In this example, *in* operators choose an element from the given lists, a and b are bound here, then *yielding* the sum of them. Because a and b are values moving around in the list elements, the expression (+ a b) can become every possible result. *yield* operator is a operator that gathers the possibilities into a list, so *for* macro returns a list of 3 * 3 results in total. Since expression inside *for* macro is a normal expression, you can write everything that you can write elsewhere. The code below has perfectly the same effect to above one::
|
|
|
|
(for (yield (+ (in '(1 2 3))
|
|
(in '(4 5 6)))))
|
|
|
|
The second best exmaple is filtering. In the next case, we show that you can do something depending on the condition of chosen elements::
|
|
|
|
(for (let ((x (in (iota 10))))
|
|
(if (even? x)
|
|
(yield x)
|
|
(null))))
|
|
|
|
;=> (0 2 4 6 8)
|
|
|
|
This expression is equivalent to ``(filter even? (iota 10))`` but it is more procedual and non-magical.
|
|
|
|
- **(for expr)**
|
|
|
|
[Macro] Executes expr in a list monad context.
|
|
|
|
- **(in list)**
|
|
|
|
Choose a value from list. *in* function must only appear in *for* macro. The delimited continuation from the position of *in* function to the outside *for* macro is executed for each element in list. If list contains no values, that is ``(in '())``, the continuation is discarded.
|
|
|
|
- **(yield value)**
|
|
|
|
Yields value from the monad context. The result of *for* will be a list of yielded values.
|
|
|
|
- **(null . value)**
|
|
|
|
Returns ``()`` whatever value is given. The identity element of list composition. This operator corresponds to Haskell's fail method of Monad class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(picrin dictionary)
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Symbol to Object table. Internally it is implemented on hash-table.
|
|
|
|
Note that dictionary is not a weak map; if you are going to make a highly memory-consuming program with dictionaries, you should know that dictionaries keep their bound objects and never let them free until you explicitly deletes bindings.
|
|
|
|
- **(dictionary)**
|
|
|
|
Returns a newly allocated empty dictionary. In the future, it is planned to extend this function to take optional arguments for initial key/values.
|
|
|
|
- **(dictionary? obj)**
|
|
|
|
Returns #t if obj is a dictionary.
|
|
|
|
- **(dictionary-ref dict key)**
|
|
|
|
Look up dictionary dict for a value associated with symbol key. If no object is associated with key, it will raise an error.
|
|
|
|
- **(dictionary-set! dict key obj)**
|
|
|
|
If there is no value already associated with key, this function newly creates a binding of key with obj. Otherwise, updates the existing binding with given obj.
|
|
|
|
- **(dictionary-delete dict key)**
|
|
|
|
Deletes the binding associated with key from dict. If no binding on dict is associated with key, an error will be raised.
|
|
|
|
- **(dictionary-size dict)**
|
|
|
|
Returns the number of registered elements in dict.
