(1=#) is a fork. while it doesn't consist of 3 verbs like a fork is "supposed to", there is a special parsing rule that allows (noun verb verb) to be interpreted as a fork too. The official interpretation is that it is transformed into (noun"_ verb1 verb2) which basically turns the noun into a verb that returns a constant result (that is the noun)
so (1=#) -: (1:=#) -: (1"_ = #) ----- Original Message ---- From: Graham Parkhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, April 8, 2007 7:44:09 PM Subject: [Jprogramming] Parsing How do I parse 1=#?
