Re: sorting a list according to numeric values using the function splice()

Are you sure that it is splice? I think it should be sort.

Actually i am a newbie in perl so practicing some of the exercises from a book. That is why i am a bit confuse because i could do sorting easily with sort(), they ask to do with the splice(), Is it possible to do with it?	[reply]

So the book is asking you to implement various sorting algorithms in perl, and to not use the built-in sort function. That makes a little more sense, if nothing else than to show why most of the time you will want to use the built-in version of sort. --MidLifeXis	[reply]
