You did great for not knowing Raku!
~$ raku -e "say sqrt(2).split(/\.|''/);"
( 1 4 1 4 2 1 3 5 6 2 3 7 3 0 9 5 1 )
~$ raku -e "say sqrt(2).split(/\.|''/).raku;"
("", "1", "", "4", "1", "4", "2", "1", "3", "5", "6", "2", "3", "7", "3",
"0", "9", "5", "1", "").Seq
~$ raku -e "say sqrt(2).split(/\.|''/, :skip-empty);"
(1 4 1 4 2 1 3 5 6 2 3 7 3 0 9 5 1)
~$ raku -e "say sqrt(2).split(/\.|''/, :skip-empty).join(', ');"
1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 6, 2, 3, 7, 3, 0, 9, 5, 1
I moved the sqrt(2) call to the head of the method chain, then visualized
elements using the `.raku` method (`.perl` works also, but don't tell
anyone). You can see an empty element at the beginning/end, as well as
where the decimal point used to reside. Including :skip-empty in your
`.split` call sets it to True, removing empty elements.
For Mac/Linux people (swapped single/double quotes):
~$ raku -e 'say sqrt(2).split(/\.|""/);'
( 1 4 1 4 2 1 3 5 6 2 3 7 3 0 9 5 1 )
~$ raku -e 'say sqrt(2).split(/\.|""/).raku;'
("", "1", "", "4", "1", "4", "2", "1", "3", "5", "6", "2", "3", "7", "3",
"0", "9", "5", "1", "").Seq
~$ raku -e 'say sqrt(2).split(/\.|""/, :skip-empty);'
(1 4 1 4 2 1 3 5 6 2 3 7 3 0 9 5 1)
~$ raku -e 'say sqrt(2).split(/\.|""/, :skip-empty).join(", ");'
1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 6, 2, 3, 7, 3, 0, 9, 5, 1
HTH, Bill.
