Hi group,
A quick question wrt pattern matching on maps. I am currently working my
way through Joe's book and the following code from the book doesn't work:
Henry8 = #{ class => king, born => 1491, died => 1547 }.
#{born => 1491,class => king,died => 1547}
19> #{ born => B } = Henry8.
* 1: illegal pattern
It's not liking the pattern matching lookup. Also "B" is unbound (I made
sure of that). This is my version of Erlang:
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 6.2
Compiled on Wed Oct 29 16:24:27 2014
Any idea why this wouldn't work?
Thank you,
Santosh
