Of course constants! constant ACONST = pi; constant $SCONST = "aaa"; Even constant @a = [1,2,3]; though it doesn't affect the actual array content making '@a = []' possible due to the way '=' works in the array context. But constant @a = <1 2 3>; works as expected. I could leave it as a

"Nil... it's a constant, so you have to use =:= to check for equality." Can you elaborate on that requirement? == works for an equality checks with numeric constants- must be more than Nil's constant-ness that makes one use =:= - perhaps that Nil doesn't numify to anything?

Re: how do I do this index in p6?

Why not use contains though? perl6 -e 'say "abc".contains("z")' False Use index if the index is important. Use contains if you just want to know if it's there. On Tue, 11 Sep 2018 at 10:57 JJ Merelo wrote: > perl6 -e 'say "abc".index("z") =:= Nil ?? "False" !! "True"' > > -e runs the script

Re: how do I do this index in p6?

perl6 -e 'say "abc".index("z") =:= Nil ?? "False" !! "True"' -e runs the script from the CL https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/wiki/Running-rakudo-from-the-command-line "abc" is on front (but it could be in the same way) index return Nil if it does not found (more logical than -1)
