Seperating Compound Lists

dReKurCe has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks: My question is in regards to the following code:

for $x(1...3){
     for$y(1...3){
     $pro=$x ** $y;
     push @products, $pro;
     }
}
[download]

Specifically, what methodology is used to read each succesive set into it's own array?

I managed to sort this out without the use of modules by using splice. Thanks for the help

#! /usr/bin/perl

for $x(1...8){
for (1...8){
$y=$x*$_;
push @products,$y;
}
print "\n";
@pro=splice (@products,0,8);
print  "@pro\n";
}

`my @sets; for $x(1..3){ my @products; for $y(1..3){ $pro = $x ** $y; push @products, $pro; } push @sets, \@products; } use Data::Dumper; print Data::Dumper->Dumper(\@sets);` [download] cheers, J	[reply] [d/l]

And most of the time, a for/push combination converts very naturally to a map: `my @sets; for my $x (1..3){ my @products = map { $x $_ } (1..3); push @sets, \@products; } use Data::Dumper; print Dumper(\@sets);` [download] Then we still have a for/push. Since we have to use $_ for our loop variable in map, it might seem a little tricky, but we're nesting these, so we can do this: `my @sets = map { my $x = $_; # Copy outer loop variable my @products = map { $x $_ } (1..3); \@products; } (1..3);` [download] Of course, there's no real need for the @products array: `my @sets = map { my $x = $_; # Copy outer loop variable [map { $x $_ } (1..3)]; } (1..3);` [download] Caution:** Contents may have been coded under pressure.
