There is a good Perl 6 article at
http://blogs.perl.org/users/damian_conway/2019/07/six-slices-of-pie.html
about the following problem
First person gets 1% of a pie, secord person gets 2% of
the remaining pie, etc. Which person gets the largest
piece of pie.
Handy takeaway: instead of typing $x/100 do
sub postfix:<%> (Numeric $x) { $x / 100 }
to make a % postfix operator and type
$x%.
Last line from article:
Because people shouldn't have to adapt to the needs of
programming languages; programming languages should adapt
to the needs of people.
