Dumb newbie question, but it’s baffling me. I’m using match but it doesn’t seem to behave as I’d expect. Here’s a code snippet…

(define ADD 1) (define MULTIPLY 2)

(define (test x) (match x [ADD "add"] [MULTIPLY "multiply"]))

When I run (test 2) it prints “add”. Why doesn’t it print “multiply”??

As a match pattern the identifier ADD matches anything.

You need to use == instead. See https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/match.html?q=Match#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fmatch..rkt%29._~3d~3d%29%29\|https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/match.html?q=Match#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fmatch..rkt%29._~3d~3d%29%29

Thanks @soegaard2 !
