I'm currently studying the pike manual/chapter_5.html#5.5 Indexing A sample quote:
Function Syntax Ident Returns
Index a [ b ] `[] Returns the index b from a.
Safe Index a [? b ] none Returns the index b from a, returning 0 instead
of an error of a is 0
Lookup a ->ident `-> Looks up the identifier. Same as
a["ident"].
I don't understand the `[] and `-> syntax. I need some simple examples of usage.
Also a ->ident aka a["ident"] escapes me. What is meant by "Ident" i.e.
"Identifier"?
TIA !
