I have this sample data structure below.

It is considered not empty if any of it’s Decimal values is greater than decimal<0>

Please how would you check for that?

My code below incorrectly returns false, when it should return true:

  def empty?(data) do
    if Enum.empty?(data) do
      true
    else
      Enum.any?(data, fn x ->
        Decimal.decimal?(x) && !(Decimal.cmp(x, Decimal.new(0)) == :eq)
      end)
    end
  end

data = %{"10100" => [{{1, 1, "employer-issuer-code"}, "PEC000000000000"}, {{1, 2, "instrument-code"}, "OTH20000000"}, {{1, 3, "instrument-rating"}, "00"}, {{1, 4, "coupon-rate"}, #Decimal<0.00>}, {{1,

Please don’t paste huge iex dumps. Just explain your problem and requirements.

Quick prototype:

defmodule Something do
  def decimal_zero(), do: Decimal.new(0.0)

  def empty?(nil), do: true

  def empty?(%Decimal{} = d) do
    Decimal.cmp(d, decimal_zero()) == :eq  
  end

  def empty?(list) when is_list(list) do
    Enum.any?(list, &(not empty?(&1))
  end
end

You can extend this to tuples and maps if you need support for those.

Thanks. This might not work. The structure I have is quite deep.

You were given a good start. You can do the rest easily.

There are ways of saying this that sound less hostile.

What would you propose? I was a bit sharp, but hostile… hm.

I’ll accept sharp in lieu of hostile.
