calling function for all elements in sequence one at a time xquery












1















I am trying to call a function for every element in a sequence but I either get only one of the elements or all of them at the same time.
My sequence has the form $y = ("N","K")and I want to run my function with first the letter N and then the letter K.
My code is:



for $nr in 1 to count($y)
let $n := ($y)[$nr]
return local:checking($n)


But that loop never ends... which I think is because the $n that i send to the function is both "N" and "K".



Any ideas?

    Your code looks fine, though it could be simplified to for $yy in $y return local:checking($yy). Whatever is wrong, it's not the code you have shown us.

  • With XQuery 3 you can also shorten that to $y ! local:checking(.), see the simple map operator w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#id-map-operator.
