The standard RETRO language provides `bi` and `tri` combinators
|
|
to apply quotes to two or three values in various combinations.
|
|
Sometimes it may be necessary to do this with four values.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is *ugly* code. It's functional, but if you can
|
|
refactor to avoid needing it, it'll likely be better in the long
|
|
run.

|
`quad` applies four quotes to a value. These are equivilent:
|
|
|
|
#10 [ #1 + ] call
|
|
#10 [ #1 - ] call
|
|
#10 [ #2 + ] call
|
|
#10 [ #3 + ] call
|
|
|
|
#10 [ #1 + ] [ #1 - ] [ #2 + ] [ #3 + ] quad
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
:quad (xqqqq-)
|
|
'abcde 'abacadae reorder
|
|
push push push push push push
|
|
call pop pop call pop pop call
|
|
pop pop call ;
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
`quad*` takes eight values (!) and applies each quote to a
|
|
specific value. E.g., these are equivilent:
|
|
|
|
#10 [ #1 + ] call
|
|
#11 [ #1 - ] call
|
|
#12 [ #2 + ] call
|
|
#13 [ #3 + ] call
|
|
|
|
#10 #11 #12 #13 [ #1 + ] [ #1 - ] [ #2 + ] [ #3 + ] quad*
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
:quad* (abcdqqqq-)

|
|
call pop pop call pop pop call
|
|
pop pop call ;
|
|

|
|
|
|
`quad@` takes four values and a quote, and applies the quote to
|
|
each value in order. These are equivilent:
|
|
|
|
#10 [ #1 + ] call
|
|
#11 [ #1 + ] call
|
|
#12 [ #1 + ] call
|
|
#13 [ #1 + ] call
|
|
|
|
#10 #11 #12 #13 [ #1 + ] quad@
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
:quad@ (abcdq-)
|
|
'abcde 'abcdeeee reorder quad* ;
