Re^2: Replaying Santa Claus Golf Apocalypse with Pugs/Perl6

I don't know if it's implemented yet, but you should be able to make that last line:

    say@l[$i...];
[download]

Combining with the previous line gets you

    say@l[(@l>9??@l-10::0)...];
[download]

I took the liberty of changing your 10 to a 9. The final semicolon should not be required eventually either.

I don't know if it's implemented yet, but you should be able to make that last line: `say@l[$i...];` [download] Again, Pugs knows better...:-) It does not seem to work with the current svn build. `say@l[(@l>9??@l-10::0)...];` [download] Yes, I tried similar solution myself, too, but Pugs does not let me to incorporate the ternary operator into the array index. What is pretty interesting playing around with Pugs is that usually it proves itself much more flexible in parsing complex Perl 6 statements than I would have expected it, but every now and then even the simplest ideas fail with some obscure error messages. It is getting better all the time, though. rg0now	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The trailing `...` was borked by the overeager "spre" conversion. It now works again in the trunk. The `?? ::` parsing, now works inside brackets, too, so all two forms above should totally work. Yay for golf-driven development!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
