Hello wise ones,
I've managed to splice two arrays of strings together to make one sentence. However, there's something wrong with the final outcome which is:
Can you unlock the the secret code?
I am not clear on why there are two 'the the'?
Here's the code I used:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @first = qw(Can unlock secret);
my @second = qw(you the code?);
print "Array contents of first array before splice: @first\n";
print "Array contents of second array before splice: @second\n";
splice(@first, 1, 0, @second[0,-2]);
print "After splice the array contains: @first\n";
my @newArray = @first;
splice(@newArray, 5,0,@second[0,2]);
print "After splice the array contains: @newArray\n";
my @newArray1 = @newArray;
splice(@newArray1, 2,1);
print "After splice the Array1 contains: @newArray1\n";
my @newArray2 = @newArray1;
splice(@newArray2, 4,1);
print"After splice the Array2 contains: @newArray2\n";
my @newArray3 = @newArray2;
splice(@newArray3,3,0, @second[1,1]);
print "Final splice Array3 contains: @newArray3\n";
I am not even sure if this is the best way to use the splice function to achieve my goal?
Thanks

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).
