In fact you seem to be calculating all of the odd numbers rather than the prime numbers.

Indeed, and in a very clumsy way, including the deprecated use of a map in void context...

Update: at the moment of this update this node has gained a reputation of -4. So far so fine. However this should imply that at least four persons did disagree with my claim. I must deduce that those persons think that

@prime = (1,2); map { push(@prime,$_) if (($_ % 2) != 0) } (2 .. 100);
is a very nice, clean and elegant way to obtain the list of "primes" (in l.frankline's arithmetic) as opposed to, say,
my @prime=(1,2,grep $_%2, 2..100);

PS: from perldoc perlstyle:

Avoid using grep() (or map()) or `backticks` in a void context, that is, when you just throw away their return values. Those functions all have return values, so use them. Otherwise use a foreach() loop or the system() function instead.

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
