>From S29: : =item end : : our Any method end (@array: ) is export : : Returns the final subscript of the first dimension; for a one-dimensional : array this simply the index of the final element. For fixed dimensions : this is the declared maximum subscript. For non-fixed dimensions (undeclared : or explicitly declared with C<*>), the actual last element is used.
The last sentence seems to suggest that not the index of the last element is returned, but the element itself. (Which I think is pretty weird) And S02: : The C<$#foo> notation is dead. Use C<@foo.end> or C<@foo[*-1]> instead. : (Or C<@foo.shape[$dimension]> for multidimensional arrays.) That doesn't clean it up totally either. So what should <a b c>.end return? 2 or 'c'? (Currently pugs and elf return 2, rakudo 'c'). Cheers, Moritz
