Re^3: Unicode infinity

That's exactly what inf does.

$ perl -MO=Concise,-exec -Mv5.40 -Mbuiltin=inf -e'my $x = inf;'
Built-in function 'builtin::inf' is experimental at -e line 1.
1  <0> enter v
2  <;> nextstate(main 9 -e:1) v:us,*,&,{,$,fea=8
3  <$> const[NV Inf] s
4  <1> padsv_store[$x:9,10] vKS/LVINTRO
5  <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC
-e syntax OK

Right, they have the same outcome, just different ways to arrive there.	[reply]

In entirely friendly attitude: I can't stand gnu error messages containing unicode for ellipses and quotes. It's really a pollution. So, In general I am against polluting the language with non-ascii symbols. And my language's alphabet is entirely non-ascii. Let python be the winner in this battle. I think you opened a can of worms :) next will be <= and >= and what about thumbs-up for `if(`👍 `$x){}`. And gotos will become again popular just for the sake of `goto` 😭 Anyway, I should have said that earlier. bw, bliako	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think you opened a can of worms :) next will be <= and >= and what about thumbs-up for if(👍 $x){}. If you can do this: perl -Mutf8 -wle 'use constant π=>3.141;use overload "sqrt"=>\&sr;sub sr{sqrt shift}print sr π' 1.77228665852903 This seems reasonable: perl -Mutf8 -wle 'use constant π=>3.141;use overload "sqrt"=>\&√;sub √{sqrt shift}print √π' Unrecognized character \x{221a}	[reply]

But, I like this can of worms :-) Don't forget ≠ ! I already added them to Language::FormulaEngine and rather enjoy them in the webapp I built with that.	[reply]
