Hi Thanks for the replies:
: =item rand : : our Num method rand ( Num $x: ) : our Num term:<rand> : : Pseudo random number in range C<< 0 ..^ $x >>. That is, C<0> is : theoretically possible, while C<$x> is not. The C<rand> function : is 0-ary and always produces a number from C<0..^1>. Hmm, I'd've thought that meant that 'rand' takes no params and returns 0..^1 but rand( Num $x: ) returns 0 .. ^$x but : In any case, for picking a random integer you probably want to use something like : C<(1..6).pick> instead. There's some missing methods s not yet, I guess: ./perl6 -e 'say (1 .. 6).pick' Method 'pick' not found for invocant of class 'Range' current instr.: '_block11' pc 49 (EVAL_13:20) called from Sub 'parrot;PCT::HLLCompiler;eval' pc 806 (src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir:481) called from Sub 'parrot;PCT::HLLCompiler;command_line' pc 1305 (src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir:708) called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6::Compiler;main' pc 12318 (perl6.pir:174) No 'pick' for Junction or any yet ./perl6 -e 'my $i = one(1 .. 6).any + 0; say $i' Method 'any' not found for invocant of class 'Junction' I tried a number whacks using prefix: ./perl6 -e 'my $i = any(1 .. 6) ; say $i' ./perl6 -e 'my $i = any(1 .. 6) + 0; say $i' ./perl6 -e 'my @arr = (1 .. 6); my $i = any(1..6); say @arr[$i]' but no get_string or get_integer for Junction makes them a little hard to use. Not complaining, just a note.
