perl array
To declare and initialize an array in Perl, you can use the @
symbol followed by the array name. For example, to create an array named myArray
with three elements, you can use the following code:
my @myArray = (1, 2, 3);
To access elements of an array, you can use the array name followed by square brackets containing the index of the element you want to retrieve. Array indices start from 0. For example, to retrieve the second element of myArray
, you can use the following code:
my $secondElement = $myArray[1];
To change the value of an element in an array, you can assign a new value to the desired index. For example, to change the value of the third element of myArray
to 4, you can use the following code:
$myArray[2] = 4;
To add elements to the end of an array, you can use the push
function. For example, to add the number 5 to myArray
, you can use the following code:
push @myArray, 5;
To remove elements from an array, you can use the pop
function to remove the last element, or the splice
function to remove elements at specific indices. For example, to remove the last element from myArray
, you can use the following code:
pop @myArray;
To get the length of an array, you can use the scalar
function. For example, to get the length of myArray
, you can use the following code:
my $arrayLength = scalar @myArray;
These are some basic operations you can perform on arrays in Perl. Let me know if you have any further questions.
