haxe Pattern matching
Remarks
Pattern matching is the process of branching depending on provided patterns. All pattern matching is done within a switch expression, and individual case expressions represent the patterns.
The fundamental rules of pattern matching are:
- patterns will always be matched from top to bottom;
- the topmost pattern that matches the input value has its expression executed;
- a
_pattern matches anything, socase _:is equal todefault:.
When all possible cases are handled, the catch-all _ pattern or default case is not required.
