Re: What should +:21a produce?
* Patrick R. Michaud [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-09-15 02:25]: So, I'm wondering what happens in the string-to-number case if there happen to be characters within the angles that are not valid digits for the given radix. A similar question holds for calling radix converters as functions Since the radix specifier/function feels is followed by some variety of circumfix, it feels like an assertion that everything within brackets is a single entity – unlike something undelimited like `0b010ax`, say. So I’d expect it to be like however it is that `say +'oops'` behaves, which is probably to say `0`. Although it would be useful if this were an interesting kind of 0 that knows it came from a parse error (and maybe even which radix was asserted). Larry?

Hi, Good day! This is an *Immediate *Opening – *Oracle Apps CRM Tech Lead* – *San Jose**, CA** *– *6+ months contract* *Please send your reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not send mails to this id.* *Required:* · The sentence essentially means For a radix of 12, use the characters A and B to represent the values 10 and 11 decimal, and not T and E. In other words, to represent the decimal values 10 and 11 using a base twelve radix, we write :12a and :12b instead of :12t and :12e. My main problem here, what I meant by confused, is that I had interpreted the sentence in the parenthesis as :A... means base 12 and :B... means base 12, which is either a contradiction or a statement that one may use either letter. So that sentence could be better written as For example, use A or B to indicate the literal is in base eleven or base twelve respectively, not E and T. On the other hand, if the N in :N... is always written as a base-10 literal, like :11... and :12..., then I still suggest the synopsis be updated for more clarity, such as using your essentially means sentence. -- Darren Duncan -- Sent from Gmail for mobile | mobile.google.com Mark J.

Does it say anywhere that you can use non-decimal notation for the radix specifier itself? 'Cause that strikes me as overcomplicating things for little gain. But even if you could, :A would have to be base 10 and :B base 11... I'm not proposing that Perl 6 support non-decimal notation for the radix specifier, at least not in combination with decimal notation always being used to indicate bases 2-10; better then to just be decimal all the way. However, *if* one wanted a system where a radix specifier could be unambiguously written to look the same as the literal is describing, then I have developed a clean system where that is possible. Essentially, the radix specifier would be a 1-character number written in the same radix as the literal, and whose value is one less than the base, and is equal to the maximum value that a single character literal in that base could have. For bases 2-10, it would look exactly like the current Perl 6 method but that the indicator is smaller by one. Pseudo-examples, in binary,octal,decimal,hex each of which equals twelve: :11100 :714 :912 :FB Now I think this general format has a lot of merit, but I'm not going to propose that Perl 6 changes away from its current system of just using decimal literals that equal the base in question; the current system is still just as good, if different, and does not need replacing, and any replacement needs exact syntax that won't confuse with other language constructs like Pair literals or routine calls. -- Darren Duncan
What should +:21a produce?
Given that we have say +'12';# 12 say +'0b1100';# 12 say +'0x0c'; # 12 what should the following produce? say +':21a';# 0? Failure? 12? Pm
