Negative real literals not implemented in the parser

[PhucVH888]

When I try to represent a vector with both negative and positive real numbers.
The result is that I cannot initialise the arrays with negative real array.

class Main 
  def main() : void 
    let tem = [-1.0] in
    ()

Or even trying with negative real number itself

class Main 
  def main() : void 
    let tem = -1.0 in
    ()

And here is the error message:

unexpected "."
expecting digit, operator, "," or "]"

I just want to point out that the arrays have nothing to do with the problem. It is the parser that cannot handle negative reals.

How hard is this to address? Is the problem the dot in the real?

[PhucVH888]

Probably. But it works this way.

class Main 
  def main() : void 
    let tem = 0-1.0 in
    ()

Someone should fix this.

@PhucVH888
Of course, but that's not very nice in the long run. We need a permanent fix to this that allows programmers to use negative literals.
