is_proplist in erlang?

Question

How can get the type of a list. I want to execute the code if the list is proplist. Let us say L = [a,1,b,2,c,3, ...]. Is the list L, I\'m converting it to pro

Answer 1

You can use something like:

is_proplist([]) -> true;
is_proplist([{K,_}|L]) when is_atom(K) -> is_proplist(L);
is_proplist(_) -> false.

but necessary to consider that this function cannot be used in guards.
