Re: [swift-evolution] Symmetrical operators

Perhaps a more general solution would be a way to mark functions as “rearrangeable”, meaning the arguments can appear in any order. I also like Haravikk’s idea for “outfix” operators—there are certainly a large number of bracket-type Unicode characters that could be useful in such a role. Nevin

Re: [swift-evolution] Symmetrical operators

Well, I dont actually think it can be considered as a syntax sugar. It requires creating separate function to achieve same effect. This is all about how operators behave in general. > 14 нояб. 2016 г., в 12:51, Anton Zhilin написал(а): > > -1 > Not worth adding

Re: [swift-evolution] Symmetrical operators

I'm a +1 on the feature, though for simply handling symmetry it's not a super critical issue. I wonder though, when you start looking at symmetry is it worth looking at other patterns? For example, could symmetrical operators be covered by a broader multi-part operator definition? I was

Re: [swift-evolution] Symmetrical operators

+1 I think the use cases are not that sparse actually. I would also argue that it would be easier to understand the intent of the code with some sort of keyword than with a hard copy of each function. > On 14 Nov 2016, at 10:51, Anton Zhilin via swift-evolution >

Re: [swift-evolution] Symmetrical operators

Although you are correct in that the compiler wouldn't be able to guarantee that both "versions" would give the same answer, but that's currently the case anyway. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 13, 2016, at 20:03, David Sweeris via swift-evolution > wrote: > > >>

[swift-evolution] Symmetrical operators

Hi, list! I’m thinking about proposal that would add a possibility to save some time on creating symmetrical binary operators. The latest code example from my math lib: @inline(__always) public static func *(lhs: Angle, rhs: Float) -> Angle { return Angle(lhs.degrees * rhs)
