What is the Hy equivalent of Python's a if condition else b?
I'm trying to convert something like this
return (quicksort(under) if under else []) + same + (quicksort(over) if over else [])
to Hy. It avoids calling quicksort() if the list is empty. I know I can do
(if under
(quicksort under)
[])
but I'd rather have it on one line
Hy is a free-form language (like most programming languages, but unlike Python). You can write (if under (quicksort under) []) in one line, like so, and it makes no difference to the parser.
Whether the Hy compiler produces a Python if expression or a Python if statement for your Hy if form is supposed to be an implementation detail that you don't have to worry about.
