# enumeration
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a method of creating a set of constants from names
|
||
|
provided in an array.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The approach was inspired by 8th[1], in which a short modifier
|
||
|
allows setting the enum value at any time. In use this looks
|
||
|
like:
|
||
|
|
||
|
{ 'a 'b=10 'c 'd=998 'e 'f 'g=33 } a:enum
|
||
|
|
||
|
In this case:
|
||
|
|
||
|
a is 0
|
||
|
b is 10
|
||
|
c is 11
|
||
|
d is 998
|
||
|
e is 999
|
||
|
f is 1000
|
||
|
g is 33
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enumerations start at zero by default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Code
|
||
|
|
||
|
The approach used here is to iterate over strings in an array.
|
||
|
If the string contains a `=`, split the string, convert the
|
||
|
part after the `=` to a number, which will replace the enum
|
||
|
value. It then creates a constant using the string and
|
||
|
increments the counter.
|
||
|
|
||

|
||
|
:a:enum (a-)
|
||
|
#0 swap
|
||
|
[ dup $= s:contains-char?
|
||
|
[ nip $= s:split [ n:inc s:to-number ] dip ] if
|
||
|
over &const dip n:inc
|
||
|
] a:for-each drop ;
|
||
|
~~~

||
|

# Test
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
{ 'a=10 'b 'c 'd=998 'e 'f } a:enum
|
||
|
```
