Is that correct? if so, could some one give an example code? I don't
understand the need for the parameter.
Also, what is the signature for opDollar() in a struct. I'm getting
errors trying to implement this.
That parameter means number of dimension. When implementing some kind of
multidimensional array (e.g. an 2D raster Image) you'd have:
img[$-1, $-1] = lastValue; // the first dollar should resolve to
"width", the second to "height"
Now speaking of it's implementation - it's quite broken.
The relevant bug report is
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3474 (vote up!)
Still it's not considered to be a critical one, since you can workaround
it by:
img[img.width-1,img.height-1] = lastValue;
