can you please explain me the above code when you assigned the values of %hash2 to @hash1 how it is reflecting in %hash1
| [reply] |
There is no array "@hash1" there is only the hash "%hash1".
This is called a hash slice , and in a quirk of perl syntax uses the @ sigil instead of %
my %foo; @foo{ 'hash', 'slices' } = ( 'use', 'curly braces' );
my @bar; @bar[ 1,2,3,4 ] = ( 'array', 'slices', 'use', 'square brackets' );
Say it with me:
{ 'hashes', 'are', 'curly', 'ones' }
[ 'arrays', 'are', 'square' ]
( 'lists are round' )
