Re: The strange ordering of hash values

Hashes have no intrinsic order of their elements. See perlfaq4, or type perldoc -q order on your command prompt to see how to get a hash that remembers the order you put the elements into it. Maybe you want an array instead?

If you want to print three, here you go, `print "3";` [download] I think a better question would be, WHY do you want the answer to be 3. We cannot help if you cannot explain what you attempting to do.	[reply] [d/l]

Herkum, sorry ... I am trying to clarify my doubt, without execution, can anyone say the output for the code is 3? that was my question. Is that possible?	[reply]
