Pattern matching in multi level nested maps
How do I pattern match in multi-level nested maps
Suppose this is my map ,
mymap = %{a: "xxx" , b: %{k1: "k1" , k2: "k2" , c: %{k3: "k3", k4: "k4"}}}
When I do this , I get an error ,
** %{a: v1, b: %{k1: v2, k2: v3, c: %{k3: v4, k4: v4}}} = mymap **
** (MatchError) no match of right hand side value: %{a: "xxx", b: %{c: %{k3: "k3", k4: "k4"}, k1: "k1", k2: "k2"}}

you still didn’t fix the typo. You ask that k3: and k4: both have the same value v4 but then pass "k3" and "k4 as the values. Your pattern is OK, your data simply doesn’t match.
