in thread int() function

C:\>rakudo -e "say (1.15*170)+0.5" 196

That's interesting - I thought that raku was above producing that sort of braindead bullshit.
Is it rounding to the nearest integer ?
Or maybe it's doing decimal math ?

UPDATE: aaah ... I think I get it ... 1.15 is being evaluated as the rational value 115/100 ... right ?

Cheers,
Rob

Yes, Raku has a `Rat` type which stores (and normalizes) numerator and denominator. Legend has it they only did that so they can have a `.nude` method (which returns a `Pair`). holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I find it confusing that a bareword of `1.15` can be assigned exactly as the rational `115/100` rather than as the approximated double. But I guess that one would adapt quickly enough to the change of mindset, if one had to. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
