Re^7: Converting python list range expressions to perl

In the OP, a notation that looked like [x:y], where x or y could be blank, was given. I noted this equivalence:

Python	Perl
`[x:y]`	`splice ARRAY, x, y`
`[:y]`	`splice ARRAY, 0, y`
`[x:]`	`splice ARRAY, x`
`[:]`	`splice ARRAY, 0`

I coded that and it passed all tests. I took all given tests, and their results, on face value. One exception is [:], which I added myself and was extrapolated from information already provided.

If the original data was wrong in some way, then I'm working from a false premise. If the tests are insufficient, further tests could show that the seen equivalence doesn't hold for other values.

I'm not trying to sell something here. I don't care what the OP uses for his "poetry" project — as already stated: "What you choose is entirely up to you.".

If you think that there's something wrong with the source, please take it up with the OP, not me.

You've removed the leading "If you think that there's something wrong with the source, ", thereby changing the context. If you think that there's something wrong with what I've written, by all means take it up with me. If you think that there's something wrong with the source, take it up with the OP. — Ken	[reply]
