Re: passing the reference of hash values array

in reply to passing the reference of hash values array

I think you want:

my $mean_of_arr = &average( [ values %arr ] );

[LIST] creates an anonymous array ref.

but why do you use this old function &call syntax?

yep the brackets worked. thanks : ) Is it better to just use 'average(...)"? I just use the & since it gets highlighted/colorcoded for syntax whereas without the & its just plain black text.	[reply]

yes, IIRC it bypasses some mechanisms like prototype checking ... which editor do you use? Cheers Rolf	[reply]
