or maybe a separate page entirely, so we aren't so restricted by space
(it encodes the whole thing into the url)
by the way, in case you've haven't heard why there have been becoming interested in Sibilant in the last few months... it's because a company has included it in their interview loop
hello, future interviewees
are you affiliated with the company?
(var tasks (hash "task 1" "task dependent 1" "task2" "task dependant2"))
That's my code for the hash object and I am trying to find a way to call the values (or the task dependents). I can see that I can loop through the keys but the docs don't seem clear on how to reference the corresponding values. Or maybe I'm just not clear on it.
If someone could help that would be awesome.
Still I gotta say, I've never even looked at lispy type languages and this is kinda nuts lol
and you can use any of the functions for interacting with objects that are in js, like Object.keys and Object.values
and to go from a key to a value, as you found, there's
(get tasks “task 1”) or similar
which compiles to
tasks[“task 1”]. if the keys are like ”task1" instead of ”task 1”, you can access them with dot notation (tasks.task1), just like in javascript
That's actually good to know, I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting errors for what I built and I think rewriting some of it would help!
Actually, if anyone could take a look and point me in the direction of where I'm going wrong I'd be grateful
(def ordered-tasks (task-list current-task)
(var tasks-in-order [])
(while (> (length tasks-in-order) 3)
(var dependent-task (get task-list current-task))
(if
(= "" (get task-list dependent-task))
(append dependent-task tasks-in-order)
(append current-task tasks-in-order)
)
)
(console.log tasks-in-order)
)
(ordered-tasks(tasks "make a sandwich"))
When I try to run that I get
TypeError: orderedTasks(...) is not a function
The logic isn't exactly where I need it to be but I can't get this to run
The
tasks argument is a hash type object as pointed out above
(Or more commonly, with variables instead of sub array literals)
(each item item-list (
(
set item "listed" false
)
(item)
)
)works like a charm
(each item item-list (
(
set item "listed" false
set dict (get item "name") item
)
(item)
)
)(and various variations) all seem to not work
I'll keep poking at the documentation, I'm sure its just my unfamiliarity with lisp, but I'd appreciate any help :)
Each function call needs its own parens
but trying to execute more than one instruction has it blow up with
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ;

And you don’t need parens around item on the third from last line
Check the parens in the each example
