@array = (5,5,null);
$array[2] = $array[0] * $array[1];
print "$array[2]\n";
# output 25
$array[0] = 10;
print "$array[2]\n";
# output 50
if you know your code, you know that second
output statement is false.
you must re-calculate the value in $array2 to
get the output to come out as '50'
does anyone know of a way to make $array2
update itself automatically?
i should warn you not to pop a blood vessel trying to
answer this for me ... i'm reasonably convinced that
i will simply update $array2 on every pass of the
loop
but for interest's sake i'd like to know if i can do it
the way i'd like to.

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).
