Subject: Re: Keywords as function arguments for control flow

Message-ID: <555DCC6F-72A4-428F-8AF3-1839FC1EB734@gnu.support> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <T-8Wb0ikJiYgxU35wDfVKEm_z8FfK1LYjqjopC3FsLiVqAHISqrEcfbDrOsgyVEp9tbon_DeQrwnL9KmrzqOevlLfGy-s_nrMUONUhA6ovU=@protonmail.com>

(defun cuprat (seqr)
  (pcase seqr
    ('global (global-whitespace-mode 1))  ;; if seqr is 'global
    (_ (whitespace-mode 1))))             ;; default case for other values

(cuprat 'global)
(cuprat 'other)


Explanation

pcase matches the argument seqr to specific patterns (like 'global).

If seqr is 'global, it applies (global-whitespace-mode 1).

The underscore (_) is a catch-all pattern that matches anything else, so in that case, (whitespace-mode 1) is called.


(defun cuprat (seqr)
  (cond
   ((eq seqr 'global) (global-whitespace-mode 1))  ;; if seqr is 'global
   (t (whitespace-mode 1))))                        ;; default case for other values

(cuprat 'global)
(cuprat 'other)


Explanation

The cond form evaluates each condition in order.

The first condition checks if seqr is 'global, and if so, it runs (global-whitespace-mode 1).

The (t ...) clause is a fallback that handles all other cases, applying (whitespace-mode 1).


Personally I have not ever used pcase
