A couple lines fixed...

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11124042 use warnings; use v5.10; my $variable = 22; my $pointer = \$variable; say "The address of \$varible, which contains the value $variable,"; say "is $pointer"; $$pointer = 25; say "Look at that! \$variable now equals $variable"; sub sum_and_diff { my $a = shift @_; my $b = shift @_; # my $res = \(shift @_); # why does the "\" work here? # it didn't my $res = shift @_; my $sum = $a + $b; $$res = $a - $b; return $sum; } my $b = 2; my $diff; # this is line 27 my $pointer_to_diff = \$diff; say "the sum of 5 and $b is ", &sum_and_diff(5, $b, $pointer_to_diff); #say "and the difference is ", $pointer_to_diff; say "and the difference is ", $$pointer_to_diff; say "the sum of 9 and $b is ", &sum_and_diff(9, $b, \$diff); say "and the difference is ", $diff; # this is line 34

Outputs:

The address of $varible, which contains the value 22, is SCALAR(0x55d283691438) Look at that! $variable now equals 25 the sum of 5 and 2 is 7 and the difference is 3 the sum of 9 and 2 is 11 and the difference is 7

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
