Hello -
I am an occasional Icon user, which means I have to look
everything up instead of assuming I know anything.
Is there a key to, or description of, the error messages and reports
that occur while compiling or running Icon programs?
I had an error message 114, 'Invalid type to subscript operation'
which I eventually traced to the fact that I had typed square
brackets where there should have been parens. However, the
phrase quoted doesn't make sense to me as it stands. What I had
done was to write, in effect, 'foo := set[bar]' - perhaps if I don't
make sense to the compiler I can't expect it to make sense to me!
It is really a syntax error.
Also, some of the library functions, although documented, look as
if they were added as part of various studies. Are there references
to these projects anywhere?
Regards
_John Sampson_
