Re^2: IF Statement Testing

But what I find more interesting is that the OP totally intuitively discovered junctions, and almost perfectly found the right syntax as well. Look at this variant:

if ($expire !~ any(1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14)){...}

Update: thanks gaal for lighting me up, although, I can not entirely grasp, what is the problem above...:-). Intuitively, $x ~~ none(...) should give the same result as $x !~ any(...), or at least, my intuition suggests this...

Anyway, here is an updated syntax that even more resembles to the OP's idea, and it actually works right in Pugs:

if (!($expire ~~ 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14)) {...}

Interestingly, Pugs requires parens around the if condition. Is this a bug?

That unfortunately doesn't work, because there always exists an element in the junction so that $expire !~ it. The condition is always true.	[reply]

Unfortunately, English usage of negatives doesn't map well to current Perl 6 syntax. I have started a discussion on perl6-language about whether we should do "not raising" or disallow use of negative ops on junctions entirely.	[reply]
