Now for a dumb question. Many languages allow a form of setting a variable to a
value like:
assign(var, 5+sin(x))
If we had a function that then returned var or the value of var, cleanly, then
would that allow an end run on the walrus operator?
if (assign(sign, 5+sin(x)) <= assign(cosign, 5+cos(x))) …
Not necessarily pretty and I am sure there may well be reasons it won’t work,
but I wonder if it will work in more places than the currently minimal walrus
operator.
This was the orginal code to illustrate the question:
if (self.ctr:=self.ctr-1)<=0
So if I understand your sugested solution it would be something like:
def setxattr(obj, attr, value):
setattr(obj, attr, value)
return value
if setxattr(self, 'ctr', self.ctr - 1) <= 0
Did I get that right?
