Quiz — Smartmatch
What does the following program print? Note that there is no
so this time, and the match uses the m/.../
form.
say 'the cat sat' ~~ m/sat/;| 0 | True |
| 0 | False |
| 1 | ｢sat｣ |
| 0 | Nil |
m/sat/ matches the same way /sat/ would.
Without so to coerce it to a Boolean, the smartmatch
returns the match object itself, which say prints between
corner brackets as ｢sat｣.
