var a: [i32;] = (i, i, i);

[Zhanytrix]

Hello, I was reading the documentation and I was playing around with carbon until I got into this:

var i: i32 = 1;
// `[i32;]` equivalent to `[i32; 3]` here.
var a: [i32;] = (i, i, i);

The var a: [i32;] = (i, i) gives me this error COMPILATION ERROR: ../TestCarbon/prova2.carb:24: syntax error, unexpected RIGHT_SQUARE_BRACKET It wants a number after the semicolon or it will not work (as said in the wiki)

Ready to reply to give more info if needed!

I think here that mainly some features aren't yet implemented in the explorer. This is likely one of them.

Hi I found other things not working as the documentation says: For example; for (var name: String in names) will give unexpected VAR. If I remove it for (name: String in names) it will give unexpected COLON Console.Print() in any case will give me syntax error, unexpected intrinsic_identifier, expecting identifier or LEFT_PARENTHESIS I cannot do things like i += 1 (like the documentation says) it will give me syntax error, unexpected EQUAL

I'd recommend reporting that separately (we have not implemented for at all, it's actually treating that as a function call). It's a different feature, and we expect the explorer to be incomplete versus the design.

Filed as #1592 just to track it.

Ok I'll report tomorrow

Hi team, It looks like we can close this issue, isnt it ? (it looks to me that way ) or am i missing something ?

[jonmeow]

The original error still occurs: https://carbon.compiler-explorer.com/z/xessEd995

The correct behavior is that the array should be automatically sized to 3, matching the tuple size and similar to auto behavior.

@jonmeow then isnt this a missing capability in the carbon ? If this is a missing carbon capability then is this appropriate to tag this as goodfirstissue ?

[jonmeow]

Yes, we think the label is appropriate. (good first issues should be easy, but that doesn't mean they're going to be trivial)
