[wuthep, `?-`, %wthp](#wthp)

============================

|

`?-` is a synthetic hoon that selects a case in `q` for the value of
|
||
`p`. The labels in `q` must match the [icon]() of `p`. The list of
|
||
cases, `q` must be terminated by `==`.

~zod/try=>
|
||
=cor |= typ=$?(%a %b)
|
||
?- typ
|
||
%a 1
|
||
%b 2
|
||
==
|
||
new var %cor
|
||
~zod/try=>
|
||
(cor %a)
|
||
1
|
||
~zod/try=>
|
||
(cor %b)
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
Here is a simple example of `?-` showing that its input must have a well
|
||
defined type for which all of the cases are covered. We create a core,
|
||
`cor` that takes an input `typ` which must be either `%a` or `%b` with
|
||
[`$%`](). Calling `cor` with valid arguments selects one of our cases.
|
||
|
||
~zod/try=>
|
||
?- 'a'
|
||
%a 0
|
||
%b 1
|
||
==
|
||
! /~zod/try/~2014.11.2..16.56.40..fca2:<[1 1].[4 7]>
|
||
! -lost.@t
|
||
! mint-lost
|
||
~zod/try=>
|
||
?- (?(%a %b) 0)
|
||
%a 'a'
|
||
%b 'b'
|
||
==
|
||
'b'
|
||
|
||
Here we can see a common failure case with `?-`. In the first example
|
||
all of our possible input cases are not covered when we pass in a `@t`,
|
||
so we fail with `mint-vain` – a parsing error. When we construct a well
|
||
typed input and select a case from it `?-` in fact has all of the cases
|
||
covered and produces correct output.
