| Re: [golo-dev] Golo and logical operators + Input/Output streams |
Hello Vincent, and thanks for your interest in Golo! For your I/O issue, I think the sample at http://golo-lang.org/documentation/next/index.html#_primitive_data_types is what you are looking for, or else I missed something. But you are right, Golo does not provides binary operators. It would indeed be nice to have some functions doing this kind of thinks, maybe in a `gololang.binary` package. Things that come to mind: - binary operators (and, or, xor, left/right shift) - augmentation on `java.lang.Byte` with the previous functions - maybe functions to ease dealing with byte arrays (e.g. wrapper around newTypeArray(byte.class, ...)), - maybe high level binary IO functions - ... Feel free to contribute! Regards, Yannick Vincent (2017-02-13 00:18): > Hello, > > For fun I'm creating a small application in Golo.
