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

  • I understand what you mean and it is very simple if I'm going to list down only the variables that I am going to use in the body of the code. However, this "let" variable declaration is hidden to the user/coder. They are writing the body of the codes only. The "let" variable declaration and the "body" written by them will be concatenated to form a complete function.

    My first idea is to convert all symbols inside myList into a variable so I dont need to read and interpret the body.

    Second idea is to read/interpret the body so I can list the variables that has been used. The only problem, is how to identify which one is a myList variable or another local variable.

    The myList is constant list and can't be changed. But the converted symbols( to variables) can accept new values but they are local variables only and wont affect the other function.

    Thank you very much.
