Yes, operators are difficult to search for. There should be a table of them...
The two dots .. are not an operator; they specify an access path to a module. See <http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/modules/> The arrow -> defines an anonymous function. See < http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/functions/>. Here, this function accesses the second element of an array (or tuple or other collection). -erik On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 7:47 PM, Alex Copeland <accopel...@lbl.gov> wrote: > Update from OP: Not sure it matters, but on the off chance the syntax is > new, I'm running > > julia> versioninfo() > Julia Version 0.5.0-dev+318 > Commit 3b189b9* (2015-09-22 15:28 UTC) > Platform Info: > System: Darwin (x86_64-apple-darwin12.4.0) > CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz > WORD_SIZE: 64 > BLAS: libopenblas (DYNAMIC_ARCH NO_AFFINITY Sandybridge) > LAPACK: libopenblas > LIBM: libopenlibm > LLVM: libLLVM-3.3 > > > > On Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at 3:32:57 PM UTC-7, Alex Copeland wrote: >> >> >> >> Hi, >> >> Can someone point me to the documentation for '..' and '->' as in >> 'include ..Sort' and x -> x[2] .
