24? What's 24? There are _26_ letters in the alphabet! Or
was 24 a base _11_ number?
Hi,
I saw this on perlmonks.org.
I can't understand how it works.
Can anyone enlighten me?
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $A=a;
for(0..285074){$A++;}print$A\n;
$A\n; # prints the new value

Hi,

Can anyone
C:\usersperl -e $A=qq(a);for(0..285074){$A++}print qq($A\n);
perl
C:\usersperl -e $A=qq(a);for(0..28){$A++}print qq($A\n);

d
C:\usersperl -e $A=qq(a);for(0..1){$A++}print qq($A\n);
c
C:\usersperl -e $A=qq(a);for(0){$A++}print
Try this:
#!/opt/local/bin/perl
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $A=a;
for(0..285074){
$A++;
print $A:;
}
print\n\n$A\n;

This reemphasizes a mail I just read from someone on this
list about the need to write clearly readable codes.

perhaps you should consider NOT printing that 285074 times? would kinda
flood the term :)
}
print\n\n$A\n;

You can increment letters just like you increment numbers.
$x = a;
$x++;
print $x; # prints b
And the letter z incremented becomes aa.
$x = z;
$x++;
print $x; # prints aa
So here is the script...
$A = a; # assign a
own
addition and subtraction routines so that $a + $b added letters instead of
number (or both letters and numbers).

There are only 24 letters in your alphabet? :)

24? What's 24? There are _26_ letters in the alphabet! Or
was 24 a base _11_ number? And if so, what extra digit
were you using other than your fingers? :-)
11 matches
