Std.Text.Parse.many

1 declaration

fn

many: fn(Std.Text.Parse.Input) -> Result[(T, Std.Text.Parse.Input), Std.Text.Parse.Problem] -> fn(Std.Text.Parse.Input) -> Result[(Array[T], Std.Text.Parse.Input), Std.Text.Parse.Problem]

This is a callable function.

What it does

Nought or more, until the parser stops.

A parser that succeeds without consuming would loop forever, so the loop

stops when the position does not move. That is a defect in the parser it was

given, and stopping is the only thing this can do about it that terminates.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
