Re^8: solve cubic equations (Python)

...you didn't see the error in the code.

Touché. But this kind of thing is a stopped clock. It's only right twice a day, and the rest of the time you have to catch the error yourself.

I just discovered use integer... it's been in core since the beginning of time, but for some reason I never noticed it before.

> I just discovered use integer.. Interesting, but I didn't mean that, Perl's parser allows typing `my TYPE VARLIST` See my But not much more was ever implemented. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, I got that. I was looking at B::CC recently, and I was surprised to see that support for type attributes is still marked as DOES NOT WORK YET. The way you tell it that a variable is an int is to name it with _i at the end.	[reply]

The way you tell it that a variable is an int is to name it with _i at the end. And that doesn't work either. Everything is actually compiled as doubles.	[reply]
Re^11: solve cubic equations (types, optimizer) by LanX (Saint) on May 06, 2017 at 15:28 UTC
Thanks ... well I read further and found types and optimizer Apparently Reini was working on it and the code reveals a Perl interface to identify types. I wished I had enough time to explore this further... Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
