Dr.Doom hey how do i take sclice of string in raku ? 10:55
nemokosch docs.raku.org/routine/substr#type/...ineroutine 11:00
Dr.Doom so substr($s,-8,-1) for last 8 chartetors ? 11:02
lizmat substr(*-8) 11:10
m: say "foobarbaz".substr(*-3)
camelia baz
lizmat Dr.Doom ^^ 11:11
nemokosch there is no "let's iterate this backwards" stuff 11:21
I don't think there is anything like that in the whole language 11:22
if you want the string backwards, you can use flip

Dr.Doom equivalent to haskell 's iterate in raku 16:47
nemokosch you'll have to ask somebody who knows both languages šŸ˜„ 16:51
Dr.Doom its a lazy list 16:52
nemokosch most operations create lazy data types by default
lizmat what nemokosch said
Dr.Doom iterate(f, x) = x, f(x), f(f(x)), f(f(f(x)))..... 16:53
nemokosch you could define something like this as x, &f ... *
where x is the starting value and &f is a function that takes one argument 16:54
Dr.Doom I am not familiar with perl/raku can you please elaborate
nemokosch if you ask the questions you want to know the answer to šŸ˜› 16:55
lizmat Dr.Doom are you aware of docs.raku.org/language/haskell-to-p6 ? 16:56
nemokosch for all practical purposes, this is a "sequence construct" that consists of some starting values, followed by a generator function, and then the ellipsis and the terminating condition
Dr.Doom but what if its not linear? 16:57
nope it doesn't contain it 16:58
nemokosch what do you mean linear? &f is really just a function that takes an argument
it could take more and then it would be a higher order recursion 16:59
nhail It would extend $x, f($x) ... * as a linear recursion But typing $x, &f ... * is not the same as that. Check out this page 18:02
docs.raku.org/routine/%2E%2E%2E
nemokosch $x, f($x) ... * is not a linear recursion but quite possibly an arithmetic series 18:03
you have two values and some attempt will be made to extrapolate a sequence from them 18:04
Dr.Doom exactly what i needed thanks @nhail 18:18
nhail yeah fixed, oops 18:19
I think it always uses arithmetic. 18:20
librasteve Sequence operator will do arithmetic and geometric series 18:23
m: say 1,2,3 ... 8 18:25
Raku eval (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)
librasteve m: say 1,2,4 ... 8
Raku eval (1 2 4 8)
nemokosch m: sub f($x) { $x ** 2 - 1 }; say 3, f(3) ... * < 1000; 18:27
Raku eval (3)
nemokosch tbh it's kinda strange but I made a thinko anyway 18:28
m: sub f($x) { $x ** 2 - 1 }; say 3, f(3) ... * > 1000;
Raku eval (3 8 13 18 23 28 33 38 43 48 53 58 63 68 73 78 83 88 93 98 103 108 113 118 123 128 133 138 143 148 153 158 163 168 173 178 183 188 193 198 203 208 213 218 223 228 233 238 243 248 253 258 263 268 273 278 283 288 293 298 303 308 313 318 323 328 333 338 343 348 353 358 363 368 373 378 383 388 393 398 403 408 413 418 423 428 433 438 443 448 453 458 463 468 473 478 483 488 493 498 ...)
nemokosch this is an arithmetic series, the way it is
we start with 3 and f(3) which is equal to 8
m: sub f($x) { $x ** 2 - 1 }; say 3, &f ... * > 1000; 18:29
Raku eval (3 8 63 3968)
nemokosch this is an actual recursion
I'm not strong with math lingo but I don't think this is linear in any sense
librasteve m: say 1,2,5 ... 8 19:48
Raku eval Exit code: 1 Unable to deduce arithmetic or geometric sequence from: 1,2,5 Did you really mean '..'? in block <unit> at main.raku line 1

.ohnowendigo Does anyone have good examples of "small grammars"? Like only a handful of rules, solves a small problem they had 20:10
librasteve #viz.docs.rs/polars/latest/polars/chunk...html#types my @types = <bool i32 i64 u32 u64 f32 f64 str>; my @dtypes = <Boolean Int32 Int64 UInt32 UInt64 Float32 Float64 Utf8>; my %type-map = @types Z=> @dtypes; use Grammar::Tracer; my grammar Lambda { rule TOP { <signature> <body> 20:15
as-type } rule signature { '|' <a-sig> [',' <b-sig>]? '|' } rule a-sig { 'a:' <a-type> } rule b-sig { 'b:' <b-type> } rule as-type { 'as' <r-type> } rule body { '(' <expr> ')' <?before <as-type>> } rule expr { .* <?before ')'> } token a-type { @types } token b-type { @types }
token r-type { @types } } my $match = Lambda.parse($lambda); die "cannot match this lambda" unless $match.so;
librasteve ^^ does this help? ... the taregt is eg. "|a: str, b: i32| (a.len() + b) as i32" 20:16
or, this docs.raku.org/syntax/Creating%20grammars is pretty neat 20:18
Grammar::Tracer is your best friend 20:19
.ohnowendigo Omg that Z=> trick 20:52
librasteve oh yeah, too much information 20:56
then you can work out how to dereference the result via dd $match 20:59
nemokosch Z=> is kind of an established pattern at this point 21:08
