Re: Re: .. in reverse

Of course they aren't always interchangable.... One can be used as an lvalue the other can't.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;

my @a             = 'a'..'f';
@a[reverse 5..10] = 'A'..'F';  # can you rewrite this line?

print "@a\n";

__END__

a b c d e F E D C B A

Yes! But It's not as pretty. `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @a = 'a'..'f'; #@a[reverse 5..10] = 'A'..'F'; # can you rewrite this line? splice @a, 5, 10-5, reverse ('A'..'F'); print "@a\n"; __END__ C:\test>194289.pl a b c d e F E D C B A` [download] Well It's better than the Abottoire, but Yorkshire!

`@a[reverse 5..10] = 'A'..'F'; # can you rewrite this line?` `@a[5..10] = reverse 'A'..'F';` Not that it really addresses the point... -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l] [select]
