Summary

In this long chapter, we talked about the operators in Perl 6. There are a few categories of operators, such as infix, prefix, postfix, circumfix, and postcircumfix. We discussed the operators from each group. Then, we looked at how meta-operators and hyper-operators create new operators based on the built-in ones. Finally, you learned how to create user-defined operators, which will be naturally embedded in the language of your program.

Up till now, we have covered all the basics of Perl 6 grammar. In the next chapter, we will move on to the next level of organizing code using subroutines.
