operator
Member & index
x.field buffer[i] text[a..b]
The access operators reach into a compound value. value.field reads or writes a property field and chains freely (route.next.column); buffer[index] reads or writes one element of a slice or raw buffer; and text[start..end] produces a fresh substring of the bytes in the half-open range, while text[index] reads a single byte as an int code point. Each form works both as a value and as an assignment target, and they compose — route[index].column = 0 is one address computation. Field access also binds method-style calls like Screen.fill_rectangle.
Example
let head_column: int = segments[0].column segments[0].column = head_column + 1 let extension: string = file_name[len(file_name) - 4..len(file_name)]
