// You can even create anonymous struct literals without field
|
|
// names:
|
|
//
|
|
// .{
|
|
// false,
|
|
// @as(u32, 15);
|
|
// @as(i64, 67.12);
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// We call these "tuples", which is a term used by many
|
|
// programming languages for a data type with fields referenced
|
|
// by index order rather than name. To make this possible, the Zig
|
|
// compiler automatically assigns numeric field names 0, 1, 2,
|
|
// etc. to the struct.
|
|
//
|
|
// Since bare numbers are not legal identifiers (foo.0 is a
|
|
// syntax error), we have to quote them with the @"" syntax.
|
|
// Example:
|
|
//
|
|
// const foo = .{ true, false };
|
|
//
|
|
// print("{} {}\n", .{foo.@"0", foo.@"1"});
|
|
//
|
|
// The example above prints "true false".
|
|
//
|
|
// Hey, WAIT A SECOND...
|
|
//
|
|
// If a .{} thing is what the print function wants, do we need to
|
|
// break our "tuple" apart and put it in another one? No! It's
|
|
// redundant! This will print the same thing:
|
|
//
|
|
// print("{} {}\n", foo);
|
|
//
|
|
// Aha! So now we know that print() takes a "tuple". Things are
|
|
// really starting to come together now.
