@code{(pred numberp)} is a pattern that simply checks that @code{exp}
|
||||
is a number, and @code{_} is the catch-all pattern that matches anything.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the the lambda being the result of the @code{fn} clause is a
|
||||
closure (@pxref{Closures}), so the file defining @code{evaluate} must
|
||||
have lexical binding enabled (@pxref{Using Lexical Binding}, for how
|
||||
to enable it).
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some sample programs including their evaluation results:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(evaluate '(add 1 2) nil) ;=> 3
|
||||
(evaluate '(add x y) '((x . 1) (y . 2))) ;=> 3
|
||||
(evaluate '(call (fn x (add 1 x)) 2) nil) ;=> 3
|
||||
(evaluate '(sub 1 2) nil) ;=> (error "Unknown expression (sub 1 2)")
|
||||
(evaluate '(sub 1 2) nil) ;=> error
|

@end example
|
||||
|
||||
Note that (parts of) @code{pcase} only work as expected with lexical
|
||||
binding, so lisp files using @code{pcase} should have enable it
|
||||
(@pxref{Using Lexical Binding}, for how to enable lexical binding).
|
||||
|
||||
There are two kinds of patterns involved in @code{pcase}, called
|
||||
@emph{U-patterns} and @emph{Q-patterns}. The @var{upattern} mentioned above
|
||||
are U-patterns and can take the following forms:
