What means "(? symbol? name)"?
I had problem even in choosing a title for this question. Please feel free to edit it.
I got this Scheme code and did not understand this block.
(define (func b)
(match b
[(list (? symbol? x) rhs) ...
The trouble part is (? symbol? x). I guess it's a comparator of some sort, but I didn't find anything abo开发者_StackOverflow社区ut it anywhere! It's hard to search it, since I don't know how to name this command.
I would like to get at least its name, further explanations are appreciated. =)
Thanks!
Just found it!
It's a specific case of (match ...) syntax. Found it here: Pattern Matching
More specific:
(match val-expr clause ...)
clause = [pat expr ...+]
| [pat (=> id) expr ...+]
Where pat is
pat ::= id [match anything, bind identifier]
(...)
| (? expr pat ...) [match if (expr value) and pat]
So I was kinda right: it's checking if x is a symbol.
I was lucky! Please complete this topic! Many thanks!
