Re: Conditional Operator Confusion

Looks like it's operator precendence. This works as you expected.

for(1..10){
  $_>5 ? ($x='foo') : ($x='bar');
  print "$_:$x\n";
}

Well, pfft - that's no good for golf... although I'm still confused - how does precedence work in this context? Tom Melly, pm@tomandlu.co.uk	[reply]

?? `C:\>perl -MO=Deparse,-p for(1..10){ $_>5 ? $x='foo' : $x='bar'; print "$_:$x\n"; } ^Z foreach $_ (1 .. 10) { ((($_ > 5) ? ($x = 'foo') : $x) = 'bar'); print("${_}:$x\n"); } - syntax OK` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
