Re: Tutelage, part two

Try something like this:


my $top_X = 10;

foreach $key (sort { $hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} } keys %hash)
{
    print "$key\t\t= $hash{$key}\n";
    last if --$top_X <= 0;
}

Style note. I would take the opportunity to throw my in front of $key and explain how strict.pm could be used to catch potential typos. You could also mention that it is important to indent consistently (as you did in your snippet).	[reply]

Well.... I think this sort of goes back to the answering the bigger question question. I know that you said over there that you are the 'answer the bigger question' type, so I suppose your comment here is in character. But I think 'just answering the question' is okay too, and that's what I did here - the OP was not looking for style points, and even mentioned that s/he knows that s/he should be using strict, etc. So I chose to simply answer the question that was asked... -- 3dan	[reply]
