Unit test table

Unit test table

[Eduardo Bellani]

Hey guys. I've posted this question in the irc-channel, but I had to
leave before I could strike a conversation with the the nice volunteer
who answered my question. I hope that email can preserve the
conversation :)

So, I have a table who's purpose is to demonstrate the working of different
versions of the same code, perhaps in different languages. This is a
working model:

https://gist.github.com/ebellani/7c70d16f06076e4fc375

as you can see, there's repetition and the TBLFM is huge.

Anyone has an idea of a better way to achieve similar results?

Thanks.

Use babel:

#+name: my-input
| el | value      | expected |
|----+------------+----------|
| 5  | '(5 5 5 5) | 4        |
| ...etc...                  |

#+begin_src elisp :var input=my-input :results table
;; Code that does the calculations in your tblfm line
;; `input' is a variable holding your input table
#+end_src

Hey Aaron, thanks for the input.

I don't think that solves my problem. I think I found a solution, but
it involves multiple formulas for the same column.
See here https://gist.github.com/ebellani/d271093faaa943674df6
Does anyone have a better idea for doing something like that? I had to
modify both 'org-table-get-stored-formulas' and
'org-table-fedit-finish' so they stop complaining about multiple
declarations for a single column.

Thanks

Look at the attached; I think it does what you’re asking for.

Hope this helps,
