I was playing with higher orders of multiplication and defining some
operators for them. When I try to make one of my new operators tighter
than one I've already defined:
multi infix:<↑> ( Int:D $n, Int:D $m --> Int:D )
is assoc<right>
is tighter(&infix:<**>)
{ $n ** $m }
multi infix:<↑↑> ( Int:D $, 0 --> Int:D )
is assoc<right>
is tighter(&infix:<↑>)
{ 1 }
multi infix:<↑↑> ( Int:D $n, Int:D $m --> Int:D )
is assoc<right>
is tighter(&infix:<↑>)
{ [↑] $n xx $m }
put 2 ↑ 3; # 2 * 2 * 2 = 8
put 2 ↑↑ 3; # 2 ** 2 ** 2 = 16
This gets the odd error about something that's not part of my code:
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /Users/brian/Desktop/knuth2.p6.pl
No such method 'subst' for invocant of type 'Any'
The problem turns out to be my duplication of the tighter. That's
better left to a proto definition instead of the candidates. I know
that now but the error message could have helped with that.
