Newtype Index Pattern in Zig
- ThierryBuilds 10mo agoNice Article. However I fail to understand how using the enum prevents the usage of the wrong index in a data structure. Can you explain further?
- hiccuphippo 10mo agoI guess you would need to cast the index to the enum or you get a type error, which should narrow down the possible error locations.
- ThierryBuilds 10mo agoThanks for your response. Wouldn't using the `_` in the enums somehow make almost all integers index "cartable" to the enums?
- hiccuphippo 10mo agoYes, but you have to cast it explicitly. If you have two different arrays each with its own enum, the compiler would throw an error if you used the wrong one. Sorry for the late response and happy new year!
- ThierryBuilds 10mo agoThanks for the clarification. Happy new year
