@title[#:tag "match"]{Pattern Matching}

@guideintro["match"]{pattern matching}

The @racket[match] form and related forms support general pattern
matching on Racket values. See also @secref["regexp"] for information
on regular-expression matching on strings, bytes, and streams.

@note-lib[racket/match #:use-sources (racket/match)]

@defform/subs[(match val-expr clause ...)
              ([clause [pat body ...+]
                       [pat (=> id) body ...+]
                       [pat #:when cond-expr body ...+]])]{

Finds the first @racket[pat] that matches the result of
@racket[val-expr], and evaluates the corresponding @racket[body]s with
bindings introduced by @racket[pat] (if any). Bindings introduced by
@racket[pat] are not available in other parts of @racket[pat].
The last @racket[body]
in the matching clause is evaluated in tail position with respect to
the @racket[match] expression. 

To find a match, the @racket[clause]s are tried in order. If no
@racket[clause] matches, then the @exnraise[exn:misc:match?].

An optional @racket[#:when cond-expr] specifies that the pattern
should only match if @racket[cond-expr] produces a true value.
@racket[cond-expr] is in the scope of all of the variables bound in
@racket[pat]. @racket[cond-expr] must not mutate the object being
matched before calling the failure procedure, otherwise the behavior
of matching is unpredictable. See also @racket[failure-cont], which is
a lower-level mechanism achieving the same ends.

@examples[
#:eval match-eval
(define (m x)
  (match x
    [(list a b c)
     #:when (= 6 (+ a b c))
     'sum-is-six]
    [(list a b c) 'sum-is-not-six]))

(m '(1 2 3))
(m '(2 3 4))
]

An optional @racket[(=> id)] between a @racket[pat] and the
@racket[body]s is bound to a @deftech{failure procedure} of zero
arguments.  If this procedure is invoked, it escapes back to the
pattern matching expression, and resumes the matching process as if
the pattern had failed to match.  The @racket[body]s must not mutate
the object being matched before calling the failure procedure,
otherwise the behavior of matching is unpredictable. 

@examples[
#:eval match-eval
(define (m x)
  (match x
    [(list a b c)
     (=> exit)
     (f x exit)]
    [(list a b c) 'sum-is-not-six]))

(define (f x exit)
  (if (= 6 (apply + x))
      'sum-is-six
      (exit)))

(m '(1 2 3))
(m '(2 3 4))
]

The grammar of @racket[pat] is as follows, where non-italicized
identifiers are recognized symbolically (i.e., not by binding).

@|match-grammar|

In more detail, patterns match as follows:

@itemize[

 @item{@racket[_id] (excluding the reserved names @racketidfont{_},
       @racketidfont{...}, @racketidfont{___},
       @racketidfont{..}@racket[_k], and
       @racketidfont{__}@racket[_k] for non-negative integers
       @racket[_k]) @margin-note{Unlike in @racket[cond] and @racket[case],
       @racket[else] is not a keyword in @racket[match].} or @racket[(var _id)]
       --- matches anything, and binds @racket[_id] to the
       matching values. If an @racket[_id] is used multiple times
       within a pattern, the corresponding matches must be the same
       according to @racket[(match-equality-test)], except that
       instances of an @racket[_id] in different @racketidfont{or} and
       @racketidfont{not} sub-patterns are independent. The binding for @racket[_id] is
       not available in other parts of the same pattern.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2 3)
         [(list a b a) (list a b)]
         [(list a b c) (list c b a)])
       (match '(1 (x y z) 1)
         [(list a b a) (list a b)]
         [(list a b c) (list c b a)])
       (match #f
         [else
          (cond
            [#f 'not-evaluated]
            [else 'also-not-evaluated])])
       ]}

 @item{@racketidfont{_} --- matches anything, without binding any
       identifiers.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2 3)
         [(list _ _ a) a])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[#t], @racket[#f], @racket[_string], @racket[_bytes],
       @racket[_number], @racket[_char], or @racket[(#,(racketidfont
       "quote") _datum)] --- matches an @racket[equal?] constant.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match "yes"
         ["no" #f]
         ["yes" #t])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "list") _lvp ...)] --- matches a list
       of elements. In the case of @racket[(#,(racketidfont "list")
       _pat ...)], the pattern matches a list with as many element as
       @racket[_pat]s, and each element must match the corresponding
       @racket[_pat]. In the more general case, each @racket[_lvp]
       corresponds to a ``spliced'' list of greedy matches.

       For spliced lists, @racketidfont{...} and @racketidfont{___}
       are aliases for zero or more matches. The
       @racketidfont{..}@racket[_k] and @racketidfont{__}@racket[_k]
       forms are also aliases, specifying @racket[_k] or more
       matches. Pattern variables that precede these splicing
       operators are bound to lists of matching forms.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2 3)
         [(list a b c) (list c b a)])
       (match '(1 2 3)
         [(list 1 a ...) a])
       (match '(1 2 3)
         [(list 1 a ..3) a]
         [_ 'else])
       (match '(1 2 3 4)
         [(list 1 a ..3) a]
         [_ 'else])
       (match '(1 2 3 4 5)
         [(list 1 a ..3 5) a]
         [_ 'else])
       (match '(1 (2) (2) (2) 5)
         [(list 1 (list a) ..3 5) a]
         [_ 'else])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "list-rest") _lvp ... _pat)] ---
       similar to a @racketidfont{list} pattern, but the final
       @racket[_pat] matches the ``rest'' of the list after the last
       @racket[_lvp]. In fact, the matched value can be a non-list
       chain of pairs (i.e., an ``improper list'') if @racket[_pat]
       matches non-list values.

      @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
      (match '(1 2 3 . 4)
        [(list-rest a b c d) d])
      (match '(1 2 3 . 4)
        [(list-rest a ... d) (list a d)])
      ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "list-no-order") _pat ...)] ---
       similar to a @racketidfont{list} pattern, but the elements to
       match each @racket[_pat] can appear in the list in any order.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2 3)
         [(list-no-order 3 2 x) x])
       ]

       @margin-note{
         Unlike other patterns, @racketidfont{list-no-order} doesn't
         allow duplicate identifiers between subpatterns. For example
         the patterns @racket[(list-no-order x 1 x)] and
         @racket[(list-no-order x 1 x ...)] both produce syntax errors.}}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "list-no-order") _pat ... _lvp)] ---
       generalizes @racketidfont{list-no-order} to allow a pattern
       that matches multiple list elements that are interspersed in
       any order with matches for the other patterns.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2 3 4 5 6)
         [(list-no-order 6 2 y ...) y])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "vector") _lvp ...)] --- like a
       @racketidfont{list} pattern, but matching a vector.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match #(1 (2) (2) (2) 5)
         [(vector 1 (list a) ..3 5) a])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "hash-table") (_pat _pat) ...)] ---
       similar to @racketidfont{list-no-order}, but matching against
       hash table's key--value pairs.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match #hash(("a" . 1) ("b" . 2))
         [(hash-table ("b" b) ("a" a)) (list b a)])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "hash-table") (_pat _pat) ...+ _ooo)]
       --- Generalizes @racketidfont{hash-table} to support a final
       repeating pattern.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match #hash(("a" . 1) ("b" . 2))
         [(hash-table (key val) ...) key])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "cons") _pat1 _pat2)] --- matches a pair value.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match (cons 1 2)
         [(cons a b) (+ a b)])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "mcons") _pat1 _pat2)] --- matches a mutable pair value.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match (mcons 1 2)
         [(cons a b) 'immutable]
	 [(mcons a b) 'mutable])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "box") _pat)] --- matches a boxed value.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match #&1
         [(box a) a])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(_struct-id _pat ...)] or
       @racket[(#,(racketidfont "struct") _struct-id (_pat ...))] ---
       matches an instance of a structure type named
       @racket[_struct-id], where each field in the instance matches
       the corresponding @racket[_pat]. See also @racket[struct*].

       Usually, @racket[_struct-id] is defined with
       @racket[struct].  More generally, @racket[_struct-id]
       must be bound to expansion-time information for a structure
       type (see @secref["structinfo"]), where the information
       includes at least a predicate binding and field accessor
       bindings corresponding to the number of field
       @racket[_pat]s. In particular, a module import or a
       @racket[unit] import with a signature containing a
       @racket[struct] declaration can provide the structure type
       information.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (eval:no-prompt (struct tree (val left right)))
       (match (tree 0 (tree 1 #f #f) #f)
         [(tree a (tree b  _ _) _) (list a b)])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "struct") _struct-id _)] ---
       matches any instance of @racket[_struct-id], without regard to
       contents of the fields of the instance.
       }

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "regexp") _rx-expr)] --- matches a
       string that matches the regexp pattern produced by
       @racket[_rx-expr]; see @secref["regexp"] for more information
       about regexps.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match "apple"
         [(regexp #rx"p+") 'yes]
         [_ 'no])
       (match "banana"
         [(regexp #rx"p+") 'yes]
         [_ 'no])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "regexp") _rx-expr _pat)] --- extends
       the @racketidfont{regexp} form to further constrain the match
       where the result of @racket[regexp-match] is matched against
       @racket[_pat].

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match "apple"
         [(regexp #rx"p+(.)" (list _ "l")) 'yes]
         [_ 'no])
       (match "append"
         [(regexp #rx"p+(.)" (list _ "l")) 'yes]
         [_ 'no])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "pregexp") _rx-expr)] or
       @racket[(#,(racketidfont "pregexp") _rx-expr _pat)] --- like the
       @racketidfont{regexp} patterns, but if @racket[_rx-expr]
       produces a string, it is converted to a pattern using
       @racket[pregexp] instead of @racket[regexp].}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "and") _pat ...)] --- matches if all
       of the @racket[_pat]s match.  This pattern is often used as
       @racket[(#,(racketidfont "and") _id _pat)] to bind @racket[_id]
       to the entire value that matches @racket[pat]. The @racket[_pat]s are
       matched in the order that they appear.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 (2 3) 4)
        [(list _ (and a (list _ ...)) _) a])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "or") _pat ...)] --- matches if any of
       the @racket[_pat]s match. Each @racket[_pat] must bind the same set
       of identifiers.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2)
        [(or (list a 1) (list a 2)) a])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "not") _pat ...)] --- matches when
       none of the @racket[_pat]s match, and binds no identifiers.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2 3)
        [(list (not 4) ...) 'yes]
        [_ 'no])
       (match '(1 4 3)
        [(list (not 4) ...) 'yes]
        [_ 'no])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "app") _expr _pats ...)] --- applies
       @racket[_expr] to the value to be matched; each result of the
       application is matched against one of the @racket[_pats],
       respectively.

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 2)
        [(app length 2) 'yes])
       (match "3.14"
        [(app string->number (? number? pi))
         `(I got ,pi)])
       (match '(1 2)
        [(app (lambda (v) (split-at v 1)) '(1) '(2)) 'yes])
       (match '(1 2 3)
        [(app (λ (ls) (apply values ls)) x y (? odd? z))
         (list 'yes x y z)])
       ]}

 @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "?") _expr _pat ...)] --- applies
       @racket[_expr] to the value to be matched, and checks whether
       the result is a true value; the additional @racket[_pat]s must
       also match; i.e., @racketidfont{?} combines a predicate
       application and an @racketidfont{and} pattern.  However,
       @racketidfont{?}, unlike @racketidfont{and}, guarantees that
       @racket[_expr] is matched before any of the @racket[_pat]s.

       @margin-note{The @racket[_expr] procedure may be called more than once
       on identical input (although this happens only rarely),
       and the order in which calls to @racket[_expr] are
       made should not be relied upon.}

       @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
       (match '(1 3 5)
        [(list (? odd?) ...) 'yes])
       ]}

  @item{@racket[(#,(racketidfont "quasiquote") _qp)] --- introduces a
        quasipattern, in which identifiers match symbols. Like the
        @racket[quasiquote] expression form, @racketidfont{unquote}
        and @racketidfont{unquote-splicing} escape back to normal
        patterns.

        @examples[
       #:eval match-eval
        (match '(1 2 3)
          [`(1 ,a ,(? odd? b)) (list a b)])
        ]}

 @item{@racket[_derived-pattern] --- matches a pattern defined by a
       macro extension via @racket[define-match-expander].}

]

Note that the matching process may destructure the input multiple times, and
may evaluate expressions embedded in patterns such as @racket[(#,(racketidfont
"app") expr pat)] in arbitrary order, or multiple times.  Therefore, such
expressions must be safe to call multiple times, or in an order other than they
appear in the original program.

@defform[(match-define-values (pat pats ...) expr)]{

Like @racket[match-define] but for when expr produces multiple values.
Like match/values, it requires at least one pattern to determine the
number of values to expect.

#:eval match-eval
(match-define-values (a b) (values 1 2))

@defproc[(exn:misc:match? [v any/c]) boolean?]{
A predicate for the exception raised in the case of a match failure.
}

@defform[(failure-cont)]{
Continues matching as if the current pattern failed.  Note that unlike
use of the @racket[=>] form, this does @emph{not} escape the current
context, and thus should only be used in tail position with respect to
the @racket[match] form.

@section{Extending @racket[match]}

@defform*[((define-match-expander id proc-expr)
           (define-match-expander id proc-expr proc-expr))]{

Binds @racket[id] to a @deftech{match expander}.

The first @racket[proc-expr] sub-expression must evaluate to a
 transformer that produces a @racket[_pat] for @racket[match].
 Whenever @racket[id] appears as the beginning of a pattern, this
 transformer is given, at expansion time, a syntax object
 corresponding to the entire pattern (including @racket[id]).  The
 pattern is replaced with the result of the transformer.

A transformer produced by a second @racket[proc-expr] sub-expression is
 used when @racket[id] is used in an expression context. Using the
 second @racket[proc-expr], @racket[id] can be given meaning both
 inside and outside patterns.

Match expanders are not invoked unless @racket[id] appears in the first
position in a sequence. Instead, identifiers bound by @racket[define-match-expander]
are used as binding identifiers (like any other identifier) when they appear
anywhere except the first position in a sequence.
 
For example, to extend the pattern matcher and destructure syntax lists,
@examples[#:label #f
  #:eval match-eval
  (eval:no-prompt
   (define (syntax-list? x)
     (and (syntax? x)
          (list? (syntax->list x))))
   (define-match-expander syntax-list 
     (lambda (stx)
       (syntax-case stx ()
         [(_ elts ...)
          #'(? syntax-list?
               (app syntax->list (list elts ...)))])))
   (define (make-keyword-predicate keyword)
     (lambda (stx)
       (and (identifier? stx)
            (free-identifier=? stx keyword))))
   (define or-keyword? (make-keyword-predicate #'or))
   (define and-keyword? (make-keyword-predicate #'and)))

  (match #'(or 3 4)
    [(syntax-list (? or-keyword?) b c)
     (list "OOORRR!" b c)]
    [(syntax-list (? and-keyword?) b c)
     (list "AAANND!" b c)])

  (match #'(and 5 6)
    [(syntax-list (? or-keyword?) b c)
     (list "OOORRR!" b c)]
    [(syntax-list (? and-keyword?) b c)
     (list "AAANND!" b c)])
 ]

And here is an example showing how 
@racket[define-match-expander]-bound identifiers are
@emph{not} treated specially unless they appear
in the first position of pattern sequence. Consider
this (incorrect) definition of a length function:
@examples[#:label #f
  #:eval match-eval
  (eval:no-prompt
   (define-match-expander nil
     (λ (stx) #''())
     (λ (stx) #''()))
   (define (len l)
     (match l
       [nil 0]
       [(cons hd tl) (+ 1 (len tl))])))]

Because there are no parenthesis around @racket[nil],
@racket[match] treats the first case as an identifier
(which matches everything) instead of a use of the match
expander and @racket[len] always returns @racket[0].

@examples[#:label #f #:eval match-eval
  (len nil)
  (len (cons 1 nil))
  (len (cons 1 (cons 2 nil)))]
}

@defthing[prop:match-expander struct-type-property?]{

A @tech{structure type property} to identify structure types that act
as @tech{match expanders} like the ones created by
@racket[define-match-expander].

The property value must be an exact non-negative integer or a
procedure of one or two arguments.  In the former case, the integer
designates a field within the structure that should contain a
procedure; the integer must be between @racket[0] (inclusive) and the
number of non-automatic fields in the structure type (exclusive, not
counting supertype fields), and the designated field must also be
specified as immutable.

If the property value is a procedure of one argument, then the
procedure serves as the transformer for match expansion. If the property value is a procedure of two
arguments, then the first argument is the structure whose type has
@racket[prop:match-expander] property, and the second argument is a
syntax object as for a @tech{match expander}..

If the property value is a @tech{assignment transformer}, then the wrapped
procedure is extracted with
@racket[set!-transformer-procedure] before it is called.

This binding is provided @racket[for-syntax].
}

@defthing[prop:legacy-match-expander struct-type-property?]{
Like @racket[prop:match-expander], but for the legacy match syntax.

This binding is provided @racket[for-syntax].
}

@deftogether[[
@defproc[(match-expander? [v any/c]) boolean?]
@defproc[(legacy-match-expander? [v any/c]) boolean?]]]{
Predicates for values which implement the appropriate match expander
properties.
}

@defproc[(syntax-local-match-introduce [stx syntax?]) syntax?]{
For backward compatibility only; equivalent to @racket[syntax-local-introduce].

@history[#:changed "6.90.0.29" @elem{Made equivalent to @racket[syntax-local-introduce].}]}


@defparam[match-equality-test comp-proc (any/c any/c . -> . any)]{

A @tech{parameter} that determines the comparison procedure used to check
whether multiple uses of an identifier match the ``same'' value. The
default is @racket[equal?].}

@deftogether[[@defform[(match/derived val-expr original-datum clause ...)]
              @defform[(match*/derived (val-expr ...) original-datum clause* ...)]]]{
Like @racket[match] and @racket[match*] respectively, but includes a
sub-expression to be used as the source for all syntax errors within the form.
For example, @racket[match-lambda] expands to @racket[match/derived] so that
errors in the body of the form are reported in terms of @racket[match-lambda]
instead of @racket[match].}

@section{Library Extensions}

@defform*[[(== val comparator) (== val)]]{
A @tech{match expander} 
which checks if the matched value is the same as @racket[val] when
compared by @racket[comparator].  If @racket[comparator] is
not provided, it defaults to @racket[equal?].  

@examples[#:eval match-eval
(match (list 1 2 3)
  [(== (list 1 2 3)) 'yes]
  [_ 'no])
(match (list 1 2 3)
  [(== (list 1 2 3) eq?) 'yes]
  [_ 'no])
(match (list 1 2 3)
  [(list 1 2 (== 3 =)) 'yes]
  [_ 'no])
]
}


@defform[(struct* struct-id ([field pat] ...))]{
 A @racket[match] pattern form that matches an instance of a structure
 type named @racket[struct-id], where the field @racket[field] in the
 instance matches the corresponding @racket[pat].

 Any field of @racket[struct-id] may be omitted, and such fields can
 occur in any order.

 @examples[
  #:eval match-eval
  (eval:no-prompt
   (struct tree (val left right)))
  (match (tree 0 (tree 1 #f #f) #f)
