Re: Failed array attemp

You mean like this?

push @z, (grep { $_ ~~ \@y } @x) ? 'y' : 'n';
[download]

Shifting some of that into a sub might make it a little more readable...

sub arrays_intersect { grep { $_ ~~ $_[1] } @{$_[0]} }
push @z, arrays_intersect(\@x, \@y) ? 'y' : 'n';
[download]

Or you could use Set::Scalar...

my $x_set = Set::Scalar->new(@x);
my $y_set = Set::Scalar->new(@y);
push @z, $x_set->intersection($y_set)->empty ? 'n' : 'y';

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Looks like exactly what I want but does not work. I got rid of syntax error by substituting ~~ with == but the results is wrong. `@x = qw(1 4); @y = qw(1 2 3); push @z, (grep { $_ == \@y } @x) ? 'y' : 'n'; print $z[0]; print $z[1];` [download] $z[0] gives me now and $z1 is uninitilised.	[reply] [d/l]

The `~~` was intentional. It's the smart match operator. `==` won't cut it. Smart match was introduced in Perl 5.9.3, about 6 years ago. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You have to be using perl v5.10 or higher to use the smartmatch operator (~~).	[reply]

I keep getting syntax error and can't change the version so it must be old. Sorry to bother but anyway of making this work without smart catching? (can change slightly by I will be using this scheme a lot so I like the one line clean code. Thanks again. `push @z, (grep { $_ ~~ \@y } @x) ? 'y' : 'n';` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If you are going to be "using this scheme a lot", I'd recommend you upgrade, or re-review this post I wrote which is similar to your original code in your question but it actually works. Admittedly, I didn't even think to use smartmatch, so kudos to tobyink for that. Without smartmatch, I believe you have to do it in two steps.	[reply]

I guess no other way. Can't really upgrade as I am working on a server and I am not an admin. Thanks steveib I will just use what you wrote :).	[reply]
