Bill,
You were correct that `!=== 0` is redundant in the original code, because a
numeric will be checked for zero-versus-not-zero in Boolean context, and
because `==` and `===` should mean the same thing when comparing a bare numeric
value.
In your latest version, I want to point out that `.words` should be redundant,
since the shell will break up the command-line arguments on whitespace, before
ever handing them to Raku.
Your code gives the same answer without `.words`.
Raku supports the procedural and functional (and OO, too!) paradigms very well.
Here is a different version, for readers who have not yet embraced the map/grep
mindset we have been showing off.
my @nums;
for @*ARGS -> $arg {
push @nums, $arg if $arg.Rat;
}
say @nums.sum;

Hope this helps,
