# Module Pike

  `constant Pike.WEAK_INDICES`
  `constant Pike.WEAK_VALUES`
  `constant Pike.WEAK`

Description

  Flags for use together with set_weak_flag and get_weak_flag . See set_weak_flag for details.

  `constant Pike.INDEX_FROM_BEG`
  `constant Pike.INDEX_FROM_END`
  `constant Pike.OPEN_BOUND`

Description

  Used with `[..] and lfun::`[..] to specify how the corresponding index maps to an upper or lower range bound:

  INDEX_FROM_BEG

    The index is relative to the beginning of the string or array (or any other sequence implemented through an object). Sequences typically start at zero.

  INDEX_FROM_END

    The index is relative to the end of the sequence. In strings and arrays, the last element is at zero, the one before that at one, etc.

  OPEN_BOUND

    The range is open in the corresponding direction. The index is irrelevant in this case.

Constant Backend

  `constant Pike.Backend`

Description

  The class of the DefaultBackend .

  Typically something that has inherited __Backend .
