Clojure 范围大小写宏

Question

在《R. Kent Dybvig 所著的 “Scheme 编程语言，第 4 版” 一书中，第86 中，作者为接受其条件范围的 case 语句编写了一个 define-syntax（Scheme 宏）。我想我会在 Clojure 中尝试这个。

这是结果。

我该如何改进这个？我使用 :ii、:ie、:ei 和 :ee 作为范围运算符，表示包含 -包容性、包容性、排他性、排他性、 和独家独家。还有更好的选择吗？

我选择扩展为 cond 而不是离散的 if 语句，因为我觉得我将从未来对 cond 宏的改进中获益。

(defmacro range-case [target & cases]
  "Compare the target against a set of ranges or constant values and return
   the first one that matches. If none match, and there exists a case with the
   value :else, return that target. Each range consists of a vector containing
   3 terms: a lower bound, an operator, and an upper bound. The operator must
   be one of :ii, :ie, :ei, or :ee, which indicate that the range comparison
   should be inclusive-inclusive, inclusive-exclusive, exclusive-inclusive,
   or exclusive-exclusive, respectively.
   Example:
     (range-case target
                 [0.0 :ie 1.0] :greatly-disagree
                 [1.0 :ie 2.0] :disagree
                 [2.0 :ie 3.0] :neutral
                 [3.0 :ie 4.0] :agree
                 [4.0 :ii 5.0] :strongly-agree
                 42 :the-answer
                 :else :do-not-care)

Answer 1

我也会投票支持一些稍微冗长但读起来不那么难看的东西。

 (range-case target
   [(<= 0.0) (< 1.0)] :greatly-disagree
   [(<= 1.0) (< 2.0)] :disagree
   [(<= 2.0) (< 3.0)] :neutral
   [(<= 3.0) (< 4.0)] :agree
   (<= 4.0 5.0)       :strongly-agree
   42 :the-answer
   :else :do-not-care)

这可能是一个可行的替代方案。

Answer 2

一些想法：

• 为运算符设置一个默认值（例如，“:ie”在典型问题中可能是最自然的）
• 将其中一个边界默认为前一个或后一个上限/下限，这样您就不需要重复相同的边界值。
• 考虑 ifs 而不是 cond，以便您可以进行间隔二分（如果您期望大量的情况，这将是性能上的胜利）

另一种方法可能是让您的宏在案例级别工作，如下所示：

(cond
  (in-range target [0.0 1.0]) :greatly-disagree)
  (in-range target [1.0 2.0]) :disagree)
  ...)

我个人喜欢这个，因为您可以如果需要，将范围测试与其他谓词混合。

Answer 3

我最初的看法：

(defn make-case [test val]
  (if (vector? test)
    `((and ~@(for [[lower comp upper] (partition 3 2 test)]
               (list comp lower upper)))
      ~val)

    (list :else val)))

(defmacro range-case [& cases]
  (let [cases (partition 2 cases)]
    `(cond ~@(mapcat (partial apply make-case) cases))))

这需要对语法进行轻微的更改，如下所示：

(range-case 
 [0.0 <= x < 1.0] :greatly-disagree
 [1.0 <= x < 2.0] :disagree
 [2.0 <= x < 3.0] :neutral
 [3.0 <= x < 4.0] :agree
 [4.0 <= x <= 5.0] :strongly-agree
 [42 = x] :the-answer
 :else :do-not-care)

我的版本可能违反了原始示例的精神，但“优点”包括：

1. 您不会硬编码到单个 target< /代码>。您也不限于两个测试（较低的测试和较高的测试）。你可以做 [0 < x <= y < 4 <= z] 等。
2. 语法更类似于数学比较符号。
3. Clojure 的比较运算符本身可以作为参数传递；无需使用关键字并将其转换为比较运算符。这样，比较运算符就不会被硬编码到函数中，并且删除这一间接层使其可读性更好一些。
4. 平等不再是特例。

缺点？

1. x 重复了很多次。抓取 x 并将其放在顶部是否值得增加复杂性和降低灵活性？
2. 与您原来的示例一样，这使用中缀表示法。在前缀符号的世界中，这可能有点刺耳。

话又说回来，此时我们的宏除了将方括号更改为括号并将一堆内容放在一起之外，并没有做更多的事情。所以我怀疑你是否真的需要一个宏。

(defn ?? [& xs]
  (every? (fn [[lower comp upper]]
            (comp lower upper))
          (partition 3 2 xs)))

(cond
  (?? 0.0 <= x < 1.0) :greatly-disagree
  (?? 1.0 <= x < 2.0) :disagree
  (?? 2.0 <= x < 3.0) :neutral
  (?? 3.0 <= x < 4.0) :agree
  (?? 4.0 <= x <= 5.0) :strongly-agree
  (= 42 x) :the-answer
  :else :do-not-care)
