Re: [julia-users] Re: When can the broadcast dot (in 0.5) be used?

That's wonderful news, thanks a lot for this. I know .() is just syntactic sugar, but to me it really feels intuitive and powerful. Thanks again, Michael On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 8:27 PM, Steven G. Johnson wrote: > (If you want dot calls to work with your own container

Re: [julia-users] Re: When can the broadcast dot (in 0.5) be used?

(If you want dot calls to work with your own container type, then you just need to make broadcast(...) work. e.g. here is some discussion for ApproxFun: https://github.com/ApproxFun/ApproxFun.jl/issues/356)

It'd be nice with a list of the methods a user-defined type would need to define to be amenable to .() in an Array. On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 8:16 PM, Michael Krabbe Borregaard < mkborrega...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks! Right now it makes a difference for my understanding just to know > that this

Re: [julia-users] Re: When can the broadcast dot (in 0.5) be used?

Thanks! Right now it makes a difference for my understanding just to know that this is an issue with String, and that .() will otherwise behave like map.

Re: [julia-users] Re: When can the broadcast dot (in 0.5) be used?

That sounds right. I wonder if this is not a bug?

[julia-users] Re: When can the broadcast dot (in 0.5) be used?

My understanding (which can easily be wrong!) is that this stems from https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/16966. Namely that size("b") throws a method error, whereas your size(2) gives a null tuple (). So in general broadcast (which is what the .() is sugar for) requires that the element

Please ignore the erroneous first " in the last code line.
