Michael “Rosy” Luder-Rosefield (Feb 27 2025 at 02:43): Michael “Rosy” Luder-Rosefield (Feb 27 2025 at 02:43):Feeling pretty stupid here, but I'm not sure what the wildcard is doing in, say, -1 : Num * is. -1 is just a Num, as far as I can tell, it doesn't contain an associated unknown type, and I'm not sure what an 'open' Num would even mean....
Hannes (Feb 27 2025 at 04:07):I'm on mobile, so a quick explanation is that a number literal can be used as any number type, if you have a function that takes an I8 then you can pass -1 to it, and you can use the same -1 in a function that takes an F64
Brendan Hansknecht (Feb 27 2025 at 07:19):Yeah, exactly that, so Num (Integer Signed8) vs Num (FloatingPoint Binary64)
