$ p6 'sub RtnOrd( Str $Char --> List ){return $Char, ord($Char)}; say
RtnOrd "A";'
(A 65)
But "List" does not tell my what is in the list.
You can create a brand new type, a subset of Lists where the first element
(we refer to with [0]) is of type Str (~~ Str) and the second element of
the List
(we refer to with [1]) is of type Int (~~ Int).
Define it like this:
subset list-str-int of List where .[0] ~~ Str && .[1] ~~ Int;
then you can say that your routine returns a list that looks like that:
sub RtnOrd( Str $Char --> list-str-int)
Is there any way to say I am return two things: a string and an integer?
