Iterating over a list - nth-bot/nth-bot.github.io GitHub Wiki

It is possible to iterate over a list, if we parse an input as a list, made of a first element and a rest element.

# add to list

< add {something} to {this list}
- [this list]:{content}
+ [this list]:[content] [something]
> ok



# show list

< show {this list}
* [this list]:{content}
> content: [content]



# iterate over a list

< iterate over {this list}, do {prefix}
* [this list]:{content} 
@ _list_all [content] end

# recursion

< _list_all {first} {rest}
@ [prefix] [first]
@ _list_all [rest]



# say

< say {something}
> [something]

@ 1 add 1 to num
@ 2 add 2 to num
@ 3 add 3 to num
@ 4 show num
@ 5 iterate over num, do say
