From: Dave Thomas Date: 2000-04-11T23:16:00-05:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:02459] Precedence question Folks: I'm trying to document why def inc(n) n + 1 end 6 * inc 7 -:5: parse error gives: -:6: parse error Is it correct to say that it's simply a precedence thing, and that it's being parsed as (6*inc) 7 or is there something more subtle going on? Thanks Dave
