Hi all,
I was wondering why the following expression :
let seq : Sequence(Sequence(String)) =
Sequence{Sequence{'a'}, Sequence{'b'}, Sequence{}, Sequence{}} in (
seq -> excluding( seq->last() )
)
evaluates to Sequence{Sequence{'a'}, Sequence{'b'}}
and not Sequence{Sequence{'a'}, Sequence{'b'}, Sequence{}} ?
I know I can get what I want by using a subSequence(1,seq->size()-1) but
I find the way the excluding works here strange.

Hmm,
In fact my question was dumb. seq->last() evaluates to Sequence{}. And
as excluding removes all the elements in the sequence that match the one
in parameter, it's quite natural that the 2 sequence{} elements are removed.

Hi, Alain,
Right, the "excluding" operation ensures that the supplied object does not
exist in the collection, and Collections (being data types) are
value-based, not identity-based, so all equal occurrences are removed.
Cheers,
Christian
