Operators are syntactic sugar for normal function application. The left hand of the period (.) is inserted as the first argument of the function call. For example:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
foo = function (self, arg1, arg2) {
// `self` is the left hand side of `.`
}
// then use it
"something".foo(1, 2)
// which is the same as
foo("something", 1, 2)
// Another example:
a.split(re#;#).length()
// is the same as
length(split(a, re#;#)) |
