Hi all, what's wrong with this code:
use v6;
sub multireturn($x, $y)
{
my $a = $x * 2;
my $b = $y * 2;
return($a, $b);
}
my($a, $b) = multireturn(2, 3);
There's (nearly) nothing wrong with your code, only with the compiler ;-)
Rakudo doesn't support list assignment yet (that's where the error
message comes from), and doesn't support returning values either.
A workaround for now is to use arrays instead.
You mean like:
my @list = multireturn(2, 3);
That still doesn't work. But its not a big deal... I was just playing
around trying to learn the language.
(The thing that's still wrong with your code is that you need a
whitespace after the 'my', otherwise my(...) should be parsed as a
function call).
OH! Good call, I'd forgotten about that. That's going to take some
getting used to. I assume it'll error out and say "method my not found?"
Thanks all,
-Andy
