I just decided to explain your obfu, so.... here it is:
here is the code in a little bit nicer format with nicer variable names:
$character = "0"; #character to print
@howmany = (
[4,2,4,2,3,3,1,4], #layout of "0" and " "
[1,2,1,2,1,5,1,2,1,2,1,4],
[4,2,4,2,3,3,1,4],
[1,5,1,5,1,1,1,3,1,4],
[1,5,4,2,1,2,1,2,4,1]
);
for ( 0 .. $#howmany ) { # loop through @howmany
foreach ( @{ $howmany[$_] } ) { # loop through the arrays of @how
+many
for ( 1 .. $_ ) { # print $character the number of times spec
+ified by the item of an array of @howmany
print $character;
}
if ($character =~ /^0$/) { #switch $character from "0" to " "
$character = " ";
} else {
$character = "0";
}
}
print "\n";
}
each array in @ howmany is the sequence of "0" and " " used to make the out put "PERL", ie. since the first line is
0000__0000__000___0____
note "_" eq " "
since there are four "0", two " ", four "0", two " ", three "0", three " ", one "0", and four " ", you get the array:
4,2,4,2,3,3,1,4 . Etc. etc. The loops go through each array of @howmany, printing the value of $character, which changes after every item in the array of @howmany from "0" to " " using the if statement. | [reply]
