In C, C++, Ada, and functional languages, I can create an array of functions,
albeit with the nastiness of pointers in the C family. For example, an array
of functions where each function is an active button, or an array of functions
that behave like formulae in a spreadsheet. I am finding this a bit
challenging in Python.
Example:
r1c1 r1c2 r1c3
r2c1 r2c2 r2c3
r3c1 r3c2 r3c3
where r1 is row 1 and c1 is column 1. Suppose I want an array where the colum
three is a set of functions that operates on the other two columns, depending
on the values I set for those rows and columns? As noted, I can do this
pretty easily in most languages (well, except for Java which does not support
any kind of functional programming capability), even if I have to use pointers.
I think my difficulty is related to the REPL nature of Python. However, I am
sure some clever Pythonista has found a way to do this.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
