Hello,
I think that that was exactly what Norman was trying to show. Probably
you've been mislead by the first value they assigned in their example:
my $CC = AA.new( I => [Str,"abc"] );
>
Here the 'Str' is the "empty" or "undefined" value, since the array was
declared as a Str array.
Try this:
> class AA { has Str @.I is rw }
(AA)
> my $aa = AA.new: I => ['a','b']
AA.new(I => Array[Str].new("a", "b"))
> say $aa.I[0]
a
> say $aa.I[1]
b
or this
> my $bb = AA.new: I => 'a'
AA.new(I => Array[Str].new("a"))
> $bb.I[0]
a
