[16:07] <disbot4> <comborico> Is there any difference between %foo and %foo{} ?
[16:20] <disbot4> <comborico> %foo{} is needed with 'say'.  say "%foo" will not work.

[16:47] <disbot4> <comborico> What is .tc method?
[16:49] <disbot4> <comborico> Now I mean, what does it stand for.  It capitalizes.  But what is the 't' for?
[17:19] <lizmat> tc == titlecase
[17:20] <lizmat> %foo is the hash itself, %hash{} (or %hash<>) is the zen-slice
[17:20] <lizmat> it's basically the same as the hash itself, but that way you can use it in a double quoted string
[17:22] <lizmat> m: my %hash = :42a, :666b;  dd %hash;  say "hash = %hash"; say "hash = %hash<>"
[17:22] <camelia> rakudo-moar 5eee34b56: OUTPUT: «{:a(42), :b(666)}␤hash = %hash␤hash = a 42␤b    666␤»
[17:22] <lizmat> although the zen-slice is not so useful on hashes
[17:23] <lizmat> m: my @a = 1..10; say "a = @a"; say "a = @a[]"
[17:23] <camelia> rakudo-moar 5eee34b56: OUTPUT: «a = @a␤a = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10␤»
[17:23] <lizmat> makes more sense with arrays

[18:42] <disbot4> <comborico> Thanks!
[20:16] <disbot4> <comborico> Why does 'a' not get iterated over twice, and the total be 34? https://pastebin.com/Gj9w8CJj
[20:20] <lizmat> that's an interesting mix of code concepts you got there
[20:21] <disbot4> <comborico> It comes from uzluisf
[20:24] <lizmat> if you look at the dd of the for loop, you get:
[20:24] <lizmat> (:b(34), :z(3), :a(17), :a(17))
[20:25] <lizmat> so you're basically assigning the %letter-freq<a> twice
[20:27] <disbot4> <comborico> I read about dd.  I need to see it more in code/tutorials.  This is an excellent example for it's purpose.  I'll note it down.
