in reply to Re^6: Converting python list range expressions to perl
in thread Converting python list range expressions to perl

In the OP, a notation that looked like [x:y], where x or y could be blank, was given. I noted this equivalence:

PythonPerl
[x:y]splice ARRAY, x, y
[:y]splice ARRAY, 0, y
[x:]splice ARRAY, x
[:]splice ARRAY, 0

I coded that and it passed all tests. I took all given tests, and their results, on face value. One exception is [:], which I added myself and was extrapolated from information already provided.

If the original data was wrong in some way, then I'm working from a false premise. If the tests are insufficient, further tests could show that the seen equivalence doesn't hold for other values.

I'm not trying to sell something here. I don't care what the OP uses for his "poetry" project — as already stated: "What you choose is entirely up to you.".

If you think that there's something wrong with the source, please take it up with the OP, not me.

    I'm not "taking it up with you".

    This is a public thread, other readers may get interested to dig deeper.

    edit

    I was just writing up my findings literally "for the record", before they get lost.

      You've removed the leading "If you think that there's something wrong with the source, ", thereby changing the context.

      If you think that there's something wrong with what I've written, by all means take it up with me.

      If you think that there's something wrong with the source, take it up with the OP.
