It's all hyperbole, circular reasoning with bits hidden behind ellipsis... parboiled lexiconical sections. -y On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 10:04 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote: > On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 9:17 PM, Larry Wall wrote: >> >> On Tue, May 01, 2018 at 01:43:44AM -0700, ToddAndMargo wrote: >> : The

Yeah, that lexiconic section sounded a bit hyperbolic. On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 6:17 PM, Larry Wall wrote: > On Tue, May 01, 2018 at 01:43:44AM -0700, ToddAndMargo wrote: > : The worst thing I had problems with in Perl was folks telling it > : was "Lexiconical". What? I wish they would have also

Re: odd and even

The result of a modulus-2 is always going to be 0 or 1, so if you can put the "even" and "odd" results in a 2 -element array, using it as a subscript would be a way to achieve the outcome. On 5/1/18, ToddAndMargo wrote: > On 04/30/2018 06:47 AM, Elizabeth Mattijsen wrote: > >> Perhaps this is a s

Please remember that I have about 1/100 of your skill when you explain things to me.  (For instance, I have no clue what `subset` is or how to use it.) -T On 04/30/2018 06:52 AM, Theo van den Heuvel wrote: > Hi Todd, > > different people have different ways of learning things. Diving into the

Re: odd and even

Hi Todd, different people have different ways of learning things. Diving into the documentation isn't ideal for all of us. I find the book by Laurent Rosenfeld, "Think Perl 6", O'Reilly, extremely helpful in addition to the docs. My problem is that I am working with many and quite different

Re: odd and even

n, please do not try to explain. And real fun search for "perl" in the docs. You only get about 325,732 hots. (This is why I asked about odd and even.) So, the main issue I have with the docs is that they "seem" to be written as a refresher for an advanced use and not as a train

Hi All, I know it would only take me 25 seconds to write one, but do we have an odd and even function build in? Many thanks, -T $ perl6 -e 'my $x=3; say $x.odd;' No such method 'odd' for invocant of type 'Int'. Did you mean 'ord'? in block at -e
