Type of literals by Moritz Lenz- June 26, 2008 In the test suite there are some tests like this:is(1.WHAT, &39;Int&39;, &39;1 as a literal is an Int);This seems to imply that we guarantee the direct type of literals. Butdo weActually I see no need for that. All my programs work fine if theliteral 1 is of type Foo, and Foo isa Int.What&39;s our policy on that Will a 1.WHAT always return Int do weguarantee (1..4).WHAT always to be &39;Range&39;Cheers,Moritz-- Moritz Lenzhttp:moritz.faui2k3.org http:perl-6.dehttp://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language/2008/06/msg29309.html Re: perl 56230 PATCH Multimethods for Complex. by Moritz Lenz- June 26, 2008 Another question:Vasily Chekalkin (via RT) wrote:> +.sub &39;sqrt&39; :multi(Complex)> + .param pmc a> + a = sqrt a> + .return (a)> +.endDo we actually want a sqrt(Complex) Somebody who is sufficientlymathematically educated to work with complex numbers should now thatsqrt() is ambigous, because there are two possible results, and willrevert to roots() for that.Any thoughtsMoritz-- Moritz Lenzhttp:moritz.faui2k3.org http:perl-6.dehttp://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language/2008/06/msg29308.html Re: .join on Array by Moritz Lenz- June 26, 2008 Patrick R.

I needed this because I sometimes findthat I need to do something conceptually similar to this: my $number = any( 0 .. 19 ); while ($number->values) my $rand int(rand(20)); if ( $number == $random_number ) handle some task and discard the number $number = any( grep $_ != $rand $number->values ); In other words, sometimes I have code which...http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language/2008/06/msg29304.html svn:perl6-synopsis r14556 - doctrunkdesignsyn by larry- June 21, 2008 Author: larryDate: Sat Jun 21 18:28:14 2008New Revision: 14556Modified: doctrunkdesignsynS03.podLog:clarifications requested by pmichaud++Modified: doctrunkdesignsynS03.pod==============================================================================--- doctrunkdesignsynS03.pod (original)+++ doctrunkdesignsynS03.pod Sat Jun 21 18:28:14 2008 -12,9 +12,9 Maintainer: Larry Wall <larrywall.org> Date: 8 Mar 2004- Last Modified: 11 Jun 2008+ Last Modified: 21 Jun 2008 Number: 3- ...http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language/2008/06/msg29303.html Re: <before ...> and <after ... > in S05 by Larry Wall- June 21, 2008 On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 01:59:28PM -0700, cognominal wrote:: C<before> and <after> being zero width assertions , I think they must: always be called with: a question mark.
