( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
hmm maybe simpler than we thought!

DB<25> sub first (&@) { my $code=shift; grep {return $_ if &$code} @ +_ } DB<26> first { $_ >5 } 1..10 => 6 DB<27> first { $_ >10 } 1..10 DB<28> sub any (&@) { my $code=shift; grep {return 1 if &$code} @_ ; + ()} DB<29> any { $_ >10 } 1..10 => "" DB<30> any { $_ >5 } 1..10 => 1

Can you spot problems?

update

variation of first for finding position

DB<40> sub position (&@) { my $code=shift; my $idx=-1; grep {++$idx; + return $idx if &$code} @_ ; ()} DB<41> position { !$_ } 1..10,undef,11..20 => 10

update

changed "" to () for false.

update

even easier

DB<53> sub first (&@) { my $code=shift; &$code and return $_ for @_ +; ()} DB<54> sub any (&@) { my $code=shift; &$code and return 1 for @_ ; ( +)}

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
