Hi Monks
I have a sorting question:
This Code behaves strangely:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my @vals = (5, 5.71428571428571);
for (1 .. 10) {
my $hsh;
for my $k (@vals) {
$hsh->{$k} = 1;
}
my @sorted = sort {$hsh->{$b} <=> $hsh->{$a}} keys %$hsh;
print "$_: " . Dumper (\@sorted);
}
exit 0;
prints:
1: $VAR1 = [
'5.71428571428571',
'5'
];
2: $VAR1 = [
'5.71428571428571',
'5'
];
3: $VAR1 = [
'5.71428571428571',
'5'
];
4: $VAR1 = [
'5.71428571428571',
'5'
];
5: $VAR1 = [
'5',
'5.71428571428571'
];
6: $VAR1 = [
'5.71428571428571',
'5'
];
7: $VAR1 = [
'5',
'5.71428571428571'
];
8: $VAR1 = [
'5',
'5.71428571428571'
];
9: $VAR1 = [
'5',
'5.71428571428571'
];
10: $VAR1 = [
'5',
'5.71428571428571'
];
As you can see, the sorted values are not consistent. What do I miss?
Thank you in advance

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).
