Hi!! ,I have one query regarding Array-Autovivification
& Hash-Autovivification . Please go through the below codes<\p>
Code for Array-Aut
my %provisions;
my $person;
while (<>) {
if (/^(\S.*)/) { # a person's name (no leading whitespace)
$person = $1;
} elsif (/^\s+(\S.*)/) { # a provision
die 'No person yet!' unless defined $person;
push @{ $provisions{$person} }, $1;
} else {
die "I don't understand: $_";
}
}
Code for Hash
my %total_bytes;
while (<>) {
my ($source, $destination, $bytes) = split;
$total_bytes{$source}{$destination} += $bytes;
}
for my $source (sort keys %total_bytes) {
for my $destination (sort keys %{ $total_bytes{$source} }) {
print "$source => $destination:",
" $total_bytes{$source}{$destination} bytes\n";
}
print "\n";
}
Now my query is that how Perl will go for array autovivification & hash autovivification in respective codes
for your purpose ,I am also given you the input files for the respective codes
for Array

please explain it to me ,that how perl has been identified that it has to go for Array or Hash Autovivification?
