Maximum triangle path sum

The Z+ and Zmax are examples of the zipwith metaoperator. Note also we can use the Zmax metaoperator form because max is define as an infix in Perl 6.

}
put @rows;


# Here's a more FPish version. We define our own operator and the use it in the reduction metaoperator form, [op], which turns any infix into a list operator. 
sub infix:<op>(@a,@b) { (@a Zmax @a[1..*]) Z+ @b }
put [op] $triangle.lines.reverse.map: { [.words] }


# Or, instead of using reverse, one could also define the op as right-associative.
sub infix:<rop>(@a,@b) is assoc('right') { @a Z+ (@b Zmax @b[1..*]) }
put [rop] $triangle.lines.map: { [.words] }
