[Fuction] Something interesting, fake enumerated type

[jj4156]

A very simple fake typescript-style enum.

Code: Select all

enum(byref name, items*)
{
	local
	name := {}
	for index, item in items
		--index, name[name[index . ""] := item] := index+0
}

Example:

Code: Select all

enum( Boolean
   , "false"
   , "true"
   , "unknown")
; Generate an associative array named Boolean: {"false": 0, "true": 1, "unknown": 2, "0": "false", "1": "true", "2": "unknown"}
Msgbox, % "Boolean.false is " Boolean.false
; => Boolean.false is 0

May be a useful feature, lol. And only 7 lines

I'm a poor mathematician, so can't imagen where to use this, however it's a great exemple for using the same memory address, variadic parameters and nested arrays.

P.s.: It seems to me, the last line of the function could be still more compact: name[name[item]:= --index]:= item.

Why not return the array? Why use ByRef?

Why not return the array? Why use ByRef?

Because I want it to be something that likes a defination. ByRef makes it liking a defination of type enum class.

return the array
