Cannot assign to constant value through lambda.

brad_phelan

Attempt to do a standard functional programming trick



but I get that I cannot assign to "const" value. Is there any way to write generators in featurescript? I also tried.



to the same error. Have also tried arrays instead of maps. Nothing work to inject some state into the lambda.

You need to use a box, which is mutable and can escape its defining scope:

function incrementer()
{
    const counter = new box(0);
    return function() { counter[] += 1; return counter[]; };
}

Jake_Rosenfeld

This does what you want:

function generator(value is number)
{
    var valueBox = new box(value);
    return function() {
        valueBox[] += 1;
        return valueBox[];
    };
}
