NAME
Syntax::Keyword::Junction - Comparisons against multiple values
SYNOPSIS
use Syntax::Keyword::Junction qw/ all any none one /;
if (any(@grant) eq 'su') {
...
}
if (all($foo, $bar) >= 10) {
...
}
if (qr/^\d+$/ == all(@answers)) {
...
}
if (all(@input) <= scalar @limits) {
...
}
if (none(@pass) eq 'password') {
...
}
if (one(@answer) == 42) {
...
}
or if you want to rename an export, use Sub::Exporter options:
use Syntax::Keyword::Junction any => { -as => 'robot_any' };
if (robot_any(@grant) eq 'su') {
...
}
DESCRIPTION
This is a lightweight module which provides 'Junction' operators, the
most commonly used being "any" and "all".
Inspired by the Perl 6 design docs,
<https://web.archive.org/web/20230922160729/https://raku.org/archive/doc
/design/exe/E06.html#The%20Wonderful%20World%20of%20Junctions>.
Provides a limited subset of the functionality of
Quantum::Superpositions, see "SEE ALSO" for comment.
Notice in the "SYNOPSIS" above, that if you want to match against a
regular expression, you must use "==" or "!=". Not "=~" or "!~". You
must also use a regex object, such as "qr/\d/", not a plain regex such
as "/\d/".
SUBROUTINES
all()
Returns an object which overloads the following operators:
'<', '<=', '>', '>=', '==', '!=',
'lt', 'le', 'gt', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne',
'~~'
Returns true only if all arguments test true according to the operator
used.
any()
Returns an object which overloads the following operators:
'<', '<=', '>', '>=', '==', '!=',
'lt', 'le', 'gt', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne',
'~~'
Returns true if any argument tests true according to the operator used.
none()
Returns an object which overloads the following operators:
'<', '<=', '>', '>=', '==', '!=',
'lt', 'le', 'gt', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne',
'~~'
Returns true only if no argument tests true according to the operator
used.
one()
Returns an object which overloads the following operators:
'<', '<=', '>', '>=', '==', '!=',
'lt', 'le', 'gt', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne',
'~~'
Returns true only if one and only one argument tests true according to
the operator used.
ALTERING JUNCTIONS
You cannot alter junctions. Instead, you can create new junctions out of
old junctions. You can do this by calling the "values" method on a
junction.
my $numbers = any(qw/1 2 3 4 5/);
print $numbers == 3 ? 'Yes' : 'No'; # Yes
$numbers = any( grep { $_ != 3 } $numbers->values );
print $numbers == 3 ? 'Yes' : 'No'; # No
You can also use the "map" method:
my $numbers = any(qw/1 2 3 4 5/);
my $prime = $numbers->map( \&is_prime );
say for $prime->values; # prints 0, 1, 1, 0, 1
EXPORT
'all', 'any', 'none', 'one', as requested.
All subroutines can be called by its fully qualified name, if you don't
want to export them.
use Syntax::Keyword::Junction;
if (Syntax::Keyword::Junction::any( @questions )) {
...
}
WARNING
When comparing against a regular expression, you must remember to use a
regular expression object: "qr/\d/" Not "/d/". You must also use either
"==" or "!=". This is because "=~" and "!~" cannot be overridden.
TO DO
Add overloading for arithmetic operators, such that this works:
$result = any(2,3,4) * 2;
if ($result == 8) {...}
SEE ALSO
This module is actually a fork of Perl6::Junction with very few
(initial) changes. The reason being that we want to avoid the incendiary
name containing Perl 6.
Quantum::Superpositions provides the same functionality as this, and
more. However, this module provides this limited functionality at a much
greater runtime speed, with my benchmarks showing between 500% and 6000%
improvement.
