in reply to Re: Finding subgraphs induced by a set of given vertices.
in thread Finding subgraphs induced by a set of given vertices.

Hi Lanx, I have two questions:-

1. Could you please explain me this part of the code posted by anonymous

for my $triplet ( @S ){ my %Pie; undef @Pie{@$QT}; delete @Pie{ @$triplet }; print "@$triplet\n" if keys(%Pie) <= ( @$QT - @$triplet ) ;

2. If I call this code as a subroutine,how do I save the retun value of this subroutine.

sub induced { my (@z)=@_; for my $QT (\@z ){ #print Dumper $QT; for my $triplet ( @trip ){ my %Pie; undef @Pie{@$QT}; delete @Pie{ @$triplet }; print "@$triplet\n" if keys(%Pie) <= ( @$QT - @$triplet ) ; return @$triplet; } }} my @C; my $d; my $p=$#subgraphs+1; for ($d=$p; $d >=1; $d--) { print "component $d = @{ $subgraphs[$d-1] }\n"; my ($qw,$we,$er)=&induced(@{ $subgraphs[$d-1] }); } ----------OUTPUT------------ component 2 = e d component 1 = c a b b c a

But I want to save the return value "b c a"

    You say you want to return instead of print?

    Think about that for a minute, return instead of print

    Hmm, how to return instead of print?

    Write return instead of print?

    Hmm, yes, write return instead of print, replace print with return, yes, I think that is it :)

    But there is a problem with returning instead of printing -- there can be more than one matching triplet , so by returning you only get the first matching triplet

      #~ sub DEBUG(){} # disable debugging

      Also note that  sub DEBUG(){} won't work to disable the  DEBUG() print function because of the empty argument list prototype (unless there's some magic associated with the  #~ thingie). Plain old  DEBUG {} would work, though.

        You're hilarious :) When you're done debugging the thing, done learning how it works, switch one debug sub for the other one, the disabling one, in my editor, its select both lines, and hit Ctrl+Q , it toggles comments ( #~ )

      Naturally I zoned out going from QT to T :) I should have not used @S, I should have called it @Triplets, and I also glossed over the output (one match was missing, doh). In main loop should be

      for my $one (@T) { my @matches = induced( \@S, $one );
