in reply to Re: calculating cribbage points
in thread calculating cribbage points

ikegami,
Your code:
my %count; ++$count{$_} foreach @c; my @pairs = grep { $count{$_} >= 2 } sort { $b <=> $a } @c; my @kind3 = grep { $count{$_} >= 3 } @pairs; my @kind4 = grep { $count{$_} >= 4 } @kind3;
Can be simplified to:
my ($points, %count); ++$count{$_} for @c; $points += $_ * ($_ - 1) for values %count;
I used this trick and several others in RFC: Cribbage::Hand.

Cheers - L~R

    I don't know cribbage. I didn't even know we were dealing with cribbage. I didn't count the points, just list the pairs. Your code is not so much a simplification as something different.
