Gives Operator

~> Operator

The ~> operator can be used after a call to specify the return type. This is used when multiple functions have the same name and arguments, but have different return types.

import basics

func getMessage() String {
    return "Hello World!"
}

func getMessage() *ubyte {
    return 'Bye World!'
}

func main {
    printf("%S\n%s\n", getMessage() ~> String, getMessage() ~> *ubyte)
}

Common Usage
