Hi, so I’m trying to do define functions as fields of a mutable struct based on input parameters. The general structure of which has the following form module TestModule mutable struct TestStruct F function TestStruct(args...) f(x) = x; if length(args)==0 pri…

Yeah, this is an (in my opinion, unfortunate) consequence of Julia’s design. It’s not necessary to have a struct definition involved to see the issue, you can simply do: julia> function foo() f() = 0 if true f() = 1 else f() = 2 end …

I really appreciate your reply, fixed my issue, saved me time. Always super helpful. Many thanks!
