Re: Re: Re: Re: Looped around my neck (help with my poor little loops!)

Ok, I'm slow so please forgive me. I've never heard of a loop variable unless you mean any variables contained within the loop itself not being able to be used outside of the loop unless it's a global variable. Or is $loop a built in variable I haven't heard of before? *sigh* If you find the book of all knowledge please feel free to lend it to me, lol.

Thanks for your help.

OK, maybe $loop was not a good choice, let's use $n `for my $n (1..10){ print 'My $n variable is : ',$n,"\n"; }` [download] or nothing `for (1..10){ print 'My $_ variable is : ',$_,"\n"; }` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What he was giving you is called pseudocode. Basically, it means stating the solution as a series of steps in more-or-less plain english. This would then be translated by the programmer into source code. `--- print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?' ':''; $m.=substr('AHJPacehklnorstu',hex($_),1) } split //,'2fde0abe76c36c914586c';` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
