Hi all, I am interested in recursive programming in Perl. There is a bit of code to determine whether a number is even or odd. That's fun, isn't it?
package IsEven; use base qw(IsOdd); sub new { my( $pkg, $x ) = @_; return 1 if $x == 0; $pkg->SUPER::new( $x - 1 ); } package IsOdd; use base qw(IsEven); sub new { my( $pkg, $x ) = @_; return 0 if $x == 0; $pkg->SUPER::new( $x - 1 ); } package main; use strict; for ( 1 .. 9 ) { print "$_ is even number!\n" if IsEven->new( $_ ); print "$_ is odd number!\n" if IsOdd->new( $_ ); } -- SH [EMAIL PROTECTED]
