In the code below, I thought $array[2] and $array->[2] were different
but they give me the same result.
Any explaination for this?
my @array = (1,2,3);
my $array [EMAIL PROTECTED];
print ref($array);
print $array[2];
print $array->[2];
The constructs $this[2] and $this->[2] are different. The first is
getting an element from @this, the second is getting an element in the
array referred to by $this.
You have made the "mistake" of naming your array and your array REFERENCE
the same things.
my @array = (1, 2, 3);
my $ref = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
print $array[2]; # '3'
print $array->[2]; # nothing, $array doesn't exist!
print $ref[2]; # nothing, @ref doesn't exist!
print $ref->[2]; # '3'
