Re: Subroutine Even/Odd

[tobyink]

This construct is weird:

if($number%2==0)
{
   $number = $_;
}
print "$number";

It works because $_ is initially undef and you never assign to it. It's incredibly fragile though.

Here's how I'd do it...

use 5.010;
use List::MoreUtils qw(part);

my $numbers = [ 1 .. 10, 211, 1000 ];

my ($evens, $odds) = part { $_ % 2 } @$numbers;

say "Even numbers: ";
say $_ for @$evens;

say "Odd numbers: ";
say $_ for @$odds;
