From owen at clipboardinc.com Tue Jun 4 16:00:46 2019 From: owen at clipboardinc.com (Owen Hartnett) Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2019 16:00:46 -0400 Subject: ** TOMORROW NIGHT ** MacTechGroup Meeting Wednesday June 5 - 7PM Message-ID: <0712D805-ECB1-49FD-A216-601FFD68D553@clipboardinc.com> MacTechGroup The MacTechGroup holds meetings for Macintosh programmers on the first Wednesday of each month at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Next Meeting: June 5 - 7:00 PM Building E51 MIT Sloan School Topic: Structural Pattern Matching in Swift > > Many pure functional programming languages have extensive abilities to match structural patterns in data. Swift, a multi-paradigm language, goes almost as far. It allows a program to take apart the structure of data, such as tuples, and match on what it finds inside. Thus, this is very different than something like regular expression matching, and is used in different places. Swift can match many different kinds of patterns, and uses this matching in a whole range of different parts of the language. I'll try to explain all this -- by example and by categorization -- and show some places where it can be used to advantage. We'll try to get a room in the series 315, 325, 335, 345 rooms, we'll grab the first one that isn't taken. If we're not there, we'll post a sign outside room 315 indicating which room we're in. Not getting our email? We?ve been rather slack. Our main communication is now the meetup group - MacTechGroup http://www.meetup.com/mactechgroup ************************ You can get a map showing building E51 at .y=1640&hi=bldg_e51&zoom.x=89&zoom.y=38> The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month. (Sometimes I screw up the date of the notice, but it's always the first Wednesday) You can get more information on the MacTechGrp and directions at http://www.mactechgroup.org . We're also on Meetup.com now - check it out. Please sign up for our group on Meetup, and swell our ranks. It's free to sign up. I'm paying the bill.
