Re: Precedence: assignment vs smartmatch? (...was Re: where is my map typo)

Apologies, looks like the smartmatch operator is listed in the Operator Precedence table (15th row: under "Chaining infix"): https://docs.raku.org/language/operators#Assignment_operators However, am I correct in stating that the assignment operator ("=") is on the 19th row ("Item assignment")?

Wow Brad, that's interesting and informative. I haven't seen the S/// operator before, so I had to look it up. On the first page I found the docs say (quite informatively): "S/// uses the same semantics as the s/// operator, except it leaves the original string intact and returns the resultant

Re: looking for good project to learn perl6

Hi Tom, My vote would be for someone to take on the task of writing "mailing-list" software in Raku/Perl6, and/or writing "mailing-list-archiving" software (e.g. an NNTP server) in Raku/Perl6. First of all, for your group this would be a relatively-high profile project, with the potential for

Re: Precedence: assignment vs smartmatch? (...was Re: where is my map typo)

The return value of s/// is the same as $/ If you want the resulting string instead you can use S/// instead. > $_ = 'abc' > my $r = S/b/./ > say $r a.c Note that it warns you try to use S/// with ~~ > my $r = 'abc' ~~ S/b/./ Potential difficulties: Smartmatch

The shortcut spelling of Q[…] is to use ｢ and ｣ (U+FF62 and U+FF63) my $x = ｢\:\\::｣; ( my $y = $x ) ~~ s/ ｢\\｣ /x/; say $y \:\\:: The case could be made that \Q[\\] should work as well. (It would need to be added). (Along with \q[…] and \qq[…]) Note that \Q[…] doesn't work in string
