"unary" wrong 3 times out of 5 (Score:1)

by jmm (276)

Of the 5 choices that are listed as unary operators, only 2 really are unary operators.

The operators := and // are binary operators.

The meta-operator ^ is not an operator (a verb) at all. It modifies an operator to change its meaning (i.e. an adverb). It can be used to modify either binary or unary operators.

  I plead ignorance. I haven't paid much attention to Perl 6, and trusted what someone else told me. :-)
