1st question: List comprehensions?

Postby neuruss » Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:01 pm

Hello Chuck,

I've been looking into the docs and I haven't found anything about list comprehensions or anything similar.
I just tried compiling a simple case and it didn't work.
Are they implemented or have you plans to do it?

By the way, congratulations for the first release!

Hi neuruss,

Thanks.

Yes, Cobra has them:

See here: http://cobra-language.com/docs/manual/expressions/for.html

(The manual needs a real sidebar with one-click access to the topics.)

Note that the ordering means that when Cobra does have IDE support, you will get "intellisense" on the expression you are making:
print for name in names get name._

There is a bug in the current release that you cannot assign the expression back to the same variable like so:
names = for name in names where name.trim.length

That is already fixed and there will a 0.7.x release by Monday morning.
