Operators
(in ./Carbon/Operators.lua)Provides functional forms of operators. Useful for having a common base.
DEPRECATED in 1.1: Use fat-arrow lambdas or your own functions instead.

class public Operators.DivideN(...
)
Returns
- required
...
: A list of objects to use in a chain division.
Divides a series of objects from the left. a / b / c / d / ...

)
Returns
- required
a
: The base. - required
b
: The exponent.
Performs exponentiation with two numbers. a ^ b
class public Operators.PowerN(...
)
Returns
- required
...
: The values to use in a chained exponentiation expression.
Raises values to powers given by a list in a left-associative way. ((((a ^ b) ^ c) ^ d) ^ ...)
class public Operators.Concat(any a, any b
)
Returns
- required
a
: The first value to concat. - required
b
: The second value to concat.
Performs concatenation with two objects. a .. b
class public Operators.ConcatN(...
)
Returns
- required
...
: The values to concat.
Performs concatenation with a list of objects. a .. b .. c .. d .. ...
class public Operators.Equal(any a, any b
)
Returns bool
- required
a
: The first value. - required
b
: The second value.
Returns whether two values are equal. Uses the __eq
metamethod.
class public Operators.GreaterThan(any a, any b
)
Returns bool
- required
a
: The first value. - required
b
: The second value.
Returns whether a is greater than b. Uses the le
metamethod if available, otherwise uses lt
and __eq
.
class public Operators.GreaterThanEqualTo(any a, any b
)
Returns bool
- required
a
: The first value. - required
b
: The second value.
Returns whether a is greater than or equal to b. Uses the lt
and eq
metamethods.
class public Operators.LessThan(any a, any b
)
Returns bool
- required
a
: The first value. - required
b
: The second value.
Returns whether a is less than b. Uses the __lt
metamethod.
class public Operators.LessThanEqualTo(any a, any b
)
Returns bool
- required
a
: The first value. - required
b
: The second value.
Returns whether a is less than or equal to b. Uses the le
metamethod if available, otherwise uses lt
and __eq
.
class public Operators.NotEqual(any a, any b
)
Returns bool
- required
a
: The first value. - required
b
: the second value.
Returns whether two values are not equal. Uses the __eq
metamethod.
