Convert a list of symbols with value as a local variable.

cessej

I have given with a list of symbols with a value. What I want is to be able to call/use the symbol as a variable. What function do I need to convert a given list as a variable? Also these variables are local only to the given user function.

procedure(myFunc()

myList = list( list('varA 1.0) list('varB 2.0) list('varC 4.0))

; what function do I need to convert the given list as a variable?

;; also these variables are local only inside this function.

varC=varA + varB   ;; varC having value of 3.0

println(varA + varB)  ;; expected output is 3.0

 )

  • following lines, will set the variables varA varB and varC, but, sorry, I do not know how to generate a list understood by 'let'

    Indeed, if you want to have local variables, use let( (varA varB varC) set(varA 1) printf("Var=%d" varA)  ); ouside, let varA is now unknown (if not set elsewhere. You may write manually the list of variable you want to make local.

    myList = list( list('varA 1.0) list('varB 2.0) list('varC 4.0))
foreach(mapcar a myList
set(car(a) cadr(a))
)
printf("Now defined.sum=%f\n" varA+varB)
