I realise I am stupid and shouldn't have been let loose on PERL in a million years but I need help!!
Can anyone PLEASE help me with a hash sorting problem I am having??
I will be eternally grateful!!!!!!!
I have successfully created a hash containing all the keys and values I want but wish to merely sort the keys into ascending numerical order. Am I doing something wrong with my hash assignment? I cannot quite see why it won't work
See excerpt below
foreach $sentence(@sentences) { <BR>
$total_sentence +=1; <BR>
@words = split(/[^\w'a-zA-Z0-9_'-?]+/,$sentence); <BR>
$Counter =0; <BR>
foreach $word(@words){ <BR>
$Counter+=1; <BR>
} <BR>
$sentence_count{($Counter)}=$sentence_count{($Counter)}+1;<BR>
+
}
<BR>
sort {$a<=>$b} (keys (%sentence_count)); <BR>
print ("\nThere are a total of $total_sentence sentences in this text\
+n"); <BR>
while (($sentence_count,$word_count) = each(%sentence_count)) { <BR>
print ("\nThere are $sentence_count sentences of $word_count words
+\n"); <BR>
} <BR>
