( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hi Monks, i'm newly registered but i've been using your site for ages. I write a lot of perl at a very basic level, (I use it for all my "data mining" at work) but i'm trying to improve my knowledge and write more concise, idiomatic code.

Anyway, i have an array, passed as reference. I want to make a new array from a slice of the referenced array, which contains only 1s or 0s depending on the value of the referenced array. In other words, i'm doing this:

my @cell_contents=map { if ($_) { 1; } else { 0; } }@$array_ref[3..10];

So if the element of the referenced array, returns as true, i want the new array element to be 1, and 0 if it returns false.

Is there a more concise way of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

  • 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).
