Hi monks,

I usually use the 'or' operator and zero value while assigning values to scalar, when i assign scalar varaible to scalar variable. (For Eg. my $var = $var1 || 0). So, if $var1 is empty the 0 will be assign to $var variable. In this subroutine also i did the same. But, in this case if i print "$price" the output i am getting is 8. Anyone please guide me. I can return 0,0 from the subroutine. By mistake i did 'or' opearator and assign zero value. I just wanted to know how the values assigning. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my ($price, $floor) = &get_price_floor() || 0;
print $price;

sub get_price_floor {
  return (10, 8);
}
