Well....
my @arr1;
@arr1 = map { push @arr1, ($_+ 2) } @data;
is not the way to use map to generate a new list of @data with values of +2. here is the right way...
my @dataPlus2 = map { my $bullshit = 'XYZ'; #see below
$_ + 2
}@data;
map{} returns the value of the last statement. I put this $bullshit statement in there to "throw you off"...it means absolutely nothing!
Use the power of the language.
my @dataPlus2 = map { $_ + 2 }@data;
my @roots = map { sqrt($_) }@data;
map{} is best used for a line or two translations.
I wouldn't normally do it this way, this is just to show you
that it is possible:
foreach my $root (map { sqrt($_) }@data)
{
#do something with this square root...
}

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).
