Try all sort of things on it. Use alphabets in place of numbers, include a third number etc. And see for yourself what you get. That's the true hacker's spirit. Now create the $add() Identifier in following two different ways and see what you get: alias add return $calc($1 + $2 + $3 + $4) alias add { if ($3) { return This Identifier can add only two numbers. Cut the $3- off! halt } else return $calc($1 + $2) }
