Ten best programming techniques you're (probably) not using.


Contents


Pattern matching

Common Lisp (destructuring-bind)

[1]> (defun foo (a-list)
        (destructuring-bind (a &rest b) a-list
           (list a b)))
FOO
[2]> (foo '(1 2 3 4))
(1 (2 3 4))
[3]>

Erlang

-module(example).
-export(hello/1]).

hello("wtd") ->
    io:format("Hello, ~s!~n", [Name]);

hello(Name) ->
    io:format("Get out!!~n", []).

Scala

def fact(n : int) : int = n match {
    case 0 => 1
    case _ => n * fact(n - 1)
}

Haskell

fact 0 = 1
fact n = n * (fact $ n - 1)
fact n = case n of
           0 -> 1
           _ -> n * (fact $ n - 1)
fact n 
   | n == 0    = 1
   | otherwise = n * (fact $ n - 1)

O'Caml

# let rec fact n =
      match n with
          1 -> 1
        | o -> o * fact (o - 1);;
# let rec fact =
      function
          1 -> 1
        | o -> o * fact (o - 1);;
# let fact n =
      let rec fact' n acc =
          match n with
              1 -> acc
            | o -> fact (o - 1) (n * acc)
      in
          fact' n 1;;
