I think |myList| would be a good idea. I'm planning to allow | x | to be used for the absolute value of an integer or float, so perhaps | x | could be a general operator to give the "magnitude" of an expression: | myList | -> length of list | myInt | -> absolute value of int | myFloat | -> absolute value of float | myVector | -> length of vector | myString | -> number of characters in the string [?] - jon klein _______________________________________________ breve mailing list [email protected] http://www.spiderland.org/mailman/listinfo/breve
