Re^2: DDJ Test for Perl

Question #41 is poorly worded. For example, in "add them to the end of each entry" what does the "them" refer to -- the values (the array elements) or newlines? I thought the former when I read it but the answer indicates the latter was the intent.

With that said I believe that English grammar rules would hint at removing the "that do not contain newlines" part of the sentence to determine what the "them" refers to.

Update: Massive rewrite and added spoiler tags.

I think that by "each" you have to assume array elements - Ant - Some of my best work - (1 2 3)	[reply]

Paraphrasing, there are two possible questions being asked: Given an array whose elements do not have any line feeds (or carriage returns, etc.): How do you print the entire array all on one line? How do you print each element of the array on a separate line? Based on the wording I think the question is actually asking the first question though the author thinks he is asking the second one.
