nameof

nameof(expr) 🡒 text, const

A nameof expression returns a text value representing the expression passed as argument, such as nameof(1 + 2) returning "1 + 2". The argument is not evaluated !

As a special case, nameof(T.X) returns X instead of T.X, and nameof("XYZ") returns "XYZ" instead of "\"XYZ\"".

The following example

table Example = with
 [| 1 as Index, "France" as Capital, "Paris" as CapitalCity|]
 [| 2         , "Greece"     , "Athens"     |]
 [| 3         , "Hungary"    , "Budapest"   |]
 [| 4         , "Italy"      , "Rome"       |]

chosen = 2
where Example.Index == chosen
    capitalH = nameof(Example.CapitalCity)
    country = single(Example.Capital)
    capital = single(Example.CapitalCity)
    show scalar "" a1c1 with "\{capital} is the \{capitalH} of \{country}."

will display Athens is the CapitalCity of Greece..
