I'm interested in using the
http://mvel.codehaus.org/Inline+List,+Maps+and+Arrays compact syntax
available for Maps in MVEL , but I can't quite get it right. I am
attempting to write a simple function to convert English numbers (i.e.
"one", "two", etc) to the integer value. This is how I would LIKE it to
work:
/function int englishToInt(String englishNumber)
{
return ["one":1, "two":2, "three":3, "four":4,
"five":5].get(englishNumber.toLowerCase());
}/
The closest I've gotten to having it work is this:
/function int englishToInt(String englishNumber)
{
Map m = ["one":1, "two":2, "three":3, "four":4, "five":5];
Object obj = m.get(englishNumber.toLowerCase());
if(obj != null)
return Integer.parseInt(obj.toString());
}/
But I get this rather unhelpful error message:
/
Error importing : 'defaultpkg.EnglishToInt.englishToInt'
[ function englishToIntenglishToInt (line:7): Syntax error on tokens, delete
these tokens
]/
... What tokens?? lol
Thanks,
Joe
