I'm going through the handbook and some things don't seem satisfactory.
Division always yelds a floating-point number, so the following doesn't work, you have to explicitly use floor():
min = time / 60
sec = time % 60
Also
var x = [1, 2, 3]
x[1] /= 2
It's weird that now x includes one float and 2 integers. Besides, x[1] == 1 evaluates to false because a float never equals an integer.
The description of 'for' loops is not complete. For example, does range(1, 10) go from 1 to 10 or from 1 to 9? What is the value of the iteration variable after exiting the loop?
The example to handle a variable number of arguments calls the function callee() with 0 to 4 arguments. So it IS possible to have functions with a variable number of parameters. What's the goal of this example, then?
