I tried combining Larry's code and Yary's code, variously using
"state" or "INIT" or "BEGIN". This is what I saw:
~$ raku -e 'for <AA NN> -> $alpha { for (1..14) { print (state $ =
$alpha)++ ~ " " } }'
AA AB AC AD AE AF AG AH AI AJ AK AL AM AN NN NO NP NQ NR NS NT NU NV
NW NX NY NZ OA
~$ raku -e 'for <AA NN> -> $alpha { for (1..14) { print (INIT $ =
$alpha)++ ~ " " } }'
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
~$ raku -e 'for <AA NN> -> $alpha { for (1..14) { print (BEGIN $ =
$alpha)++ ~ " " } }'
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
Expected? --Bill.
