Re^4: Arithmetical Simulation

let me be frank, I thought using (logical and) can be buggy, until when you said it works as an if, that is when I REMEMBERED (logical and) would actually short-circuit, I got my confusion compounded because I haven't reached to Perl references yet so I was wondering.In fact I was wondering on many things, it took you about 10 minutes to reply my first query and with such neat neat code and it took me 3 hours almost to work out a code of my own, so you know I was baffled as to when I could get better, but I am not ashamed of it, since I am still learning. I am motivated that I got to know Perl Monks, you guys are so helpful and caring too... As for the bug, I could not notice nothing cuz some of the concepts you employed, I am yet to reach them like using square brackets inside map{} as in

my @numbers = map {[reverse split '']} qw(109156 114);

and the other two lines, this is why I am strongly intent on coming back to this code every other while to measure my progress.

Hint for the bug: consider what happens with 900 + 100 . True laziness is hard work	[reply]

Somewhere in the substr logic, if we used `push @result, $sum;` [download] when the case is (100 + 900) we can accommodate the base shift, but when the two arguments are of different sizes we substr from the end, tried using the above line when the case is (109156 114) but it gave me different results sir which are challenging my logic the more...hehehe... Am I right at the bug thing??? Excellence is an Endeavor of Persistence. Chance Favors a Prepared Mind	[reply] [d/l]
