How to check in Z3py whether the expression contains a conditional (=>) - z3

i'm using Z3py to traverse a Boolean formula. How to check whether the formula contains a conditional. I have checked the z3.py source code and it contains is_and(), is_or(), is_not(),.. but nothing related to is_implies(). Any idea ? Thanks.

You can use the function "is_app_of" to determine the built-in function of an expression. Thus,
def is_and(a):
return is_app_of(a, Z3_OP_AND)
as already implemented in the z3.py file, and similarly
def is_implies(a):
return is_app_of(a, Z3_OP_IMPLIES)

Lua Pattern matching only returning first match

I can't figure out how to get Lua to return ALL matches for a particular pattern match.
I have the following regex which works and is so basic:
.*\n
This just splits a long string per line.
The equivelent of this in Lua is:
.-\n
If you run the above in a regex website against the following text it will find three matches (if using the global flag).
Hello
my name is
Someone
If you do not use the global flag it will return only the first match. This is the behaviour of LUA; it's as if it does not have a global switch and will only ever return the first match.
The exact code I have is:
local test = {string.match(string_variable_here, ".-\n")}
If I run it on the above test for example, test will be a table with only one item (the first row). I even tried using capture groups but the result is the same.
I cannot find a way to make it return all occurrences of a match, does anyone know if this is possible in LUA?
Thanks,
You can use string.gmatch(s, pattern) / s:gmatch(pattern):
This returns a pattern finding iterator. The iterator will search through the string passed looking for instances of the pattern you passed.
See the online Lua demo:
local a = "Hello\nmy name is\nSomeone\n"
for i in string.gmatch(a, ".*\n") do
print(i)
end
Note that .*\n regex is equivalent to .*\n Lua pattern. - in Lua patterns is the equivalent of *? non-greedy ("lazy") quantifier.

Why we are unable to evaluate comprehension if we have defined it inside a rule body in OPA?

The following is my sample code: https://play.openpolicyagent.org/p/oyY1GOsYaf
Here when I try to evaluate names array, it is showing:
error occurred: 1:1: rego_unsafe_var_error: var names is unsafe
But when I define the same comprehension outside the allow rule definition : https://play.openpolicyagent.org/p/Xv0cF7FM8b, I am able to evaluate the selection
[
"smoke",
"dev"]
could someone help me to point out the difference and if I want to define the comprehention inside the rule is there any syntax I need to follow? Thanks in advance
Note: I am getting the final output as expected in both cases, only issue is with the names array evaluation.
The way the Rego Playground generates a query when evaluating a selection is much more simplistic than one might assume. A query will be generated from your selected text, without taking into account where in the document that text was selected. This means that even if you select a local variable inside a rule body, the query will simply contain that variable name (names, in your case); which will be perceived as a reference to a top-level variable in the document's body, even though a rule-local variable was selected. This is why your first sample returns an error, as there is no top-level variable names in the document; whereas the second sample does, and therefore succeeds.
You can test this quirk by selecting and evaluating the word hello on line 3 here: https://play.openpolicyagent.org/p/n5OPoFnlhx.
package play
# hello
hello {
m := input.message
m == "world"
}
Even though it's just part of a comment, it'll evaluate just as if you had selected the rule name on line 5.

How to write a function to sieve element in a list using erlang

I was ask to write a function in erlang that given a list of integer and an integer, will return all integer smaller than or equal to the integer. Example sive ([1,2,3,4,5 ],3)=[1,2,3]
List comprehensions are explained here:
http://erlang.org/doc/programming_examples/list_comprehensions.html

If you'd like to use function instead you can check filter/2.

Lua throwaway result

I have a situation where I perform some operations on tables, call them T and V. I have set the metatable up correctly and everything works as expected. The issue is that I usually don't need the result of the calculation. So instead of writing
for i=1,5 do
_=T+V
end
is there a way to just have
for i=1,5 do
T+V
end
?
I am not using the Lua commandline so I cannot just write =T+V.
Make a function that does nothing and pass it to it:
function NOP() end
for i=1,5 do
NOP(T+V)
end
This additionally serves to document your intentions, and that the side-effect is what you're after.
Looking at syntax of Lua in extended BNF I don't see an way to construct an expression (exp) without a equal sign or something else.
There are only 4 cases where an expression (exp) can be used:
Assigning a value e.g. p = exp
As condition e.g. while exp then
In a function call i.e. f(exp)
for indexing i.e. t[exp]

call a function with variable length of arguments

In my lua script I need to call a function which takes an arbritary number of arguments with, well, an arbitrary number of arguments…
I am building up my arguments as a table as I cant know how many arguments there will be.
Sample code:
local result = call.someFunc();
local arguments = {}
for k,v in pairs(result) do
table.insert(arguments, v.name)
end
-- here I would like to somehow pass the whole table and each item in the table
-- is then passed as a single argument to "someOtherFunc"
call.someOtherFunc(arguments[1], arguments[2], arguments[3] ....)
I am pretty new to lua, in PHP e. g. I would use call_user_func_array – is there something similiar in lua?
foo(unpack(arguments)) is equivalent to foo(arguments[1], arguments[2], ...).
The long answer can be found on the Lua Users' Wiki.
This covers everything including trailing nil arguments.
Just pass the table as the argument. No need to split it up into single arguments, just have the function loop through the table.
