Seriously, I suspect one of the following: 1 - runtime error 2 - each row (or column) of @b numified to its length 3 - the first element of each row/col of @b 4 - the other arrays boosted to the highest dimension I like #2, because it is easy and keeps hyper-operation simple. If those aren't just numeric operators, but some other weird user-defined thing, then an array as one operand makes sense. The simpler hyping is, the better, IMHO. Some people doubtless like #4 because it's a natural extension of the way scalars get auto-boosted to one-dimensional arrays. As a middle ground, we could have 5 - use /\^<$n><operator>/ to do a nested $n-dimensional hype Oh, yeah. /s who regrets opening his mouth...Thread Previous | Thread Next
