Count occurrences of a substring: Difference between revisions

The <tt>~</tt> prefix operator converts <tt>$little</tt> to a <tt>Str</tt> if it isn't already, and <tt>.comb</tt> when given a <tt>Str</tt> as an argument returns instances of that substring. You can think of it as if the argument was a regex that matched the string literally <tt>/$little/</tt>. Also, prefix <tt>+</tt> forces numeric context in Perl&nbsp;6Raku (it's a no-op in Perl&nbsp;5). For the built in listy types that is the same as calling <tt>.elems</tt> method. One other style point: we now tend to prefer hyphenated names over camelCase.
