Re^8: Pointers and References

[bliako]

yep

use strict;
use warnings;
my $x = 12;
foreach my $aa ($x,$x){ $aa = 13; }
print $x;
----------

13

How about "readonly, anonymous stack" instead of list? Iam joking, enough of the nomenclature

And also for arrays:

Win8 Strawberry 5.8.9.5 (32)  Tue 11/24/2020 17:09:57
C:\@Work\Perl\monks
>perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -l
my $x = 1;
my $y = 2;
my @z = (3, 4, 5);

$_ += 100 for @z, $x, $y;

print "$x, $y, (@z)";

for ($x, @z, $y) { $_ += 100; }

print "$x, $y, (@z)";
^Z
101, 102, (103 104 105)
201, 202, (203 204 205)

I hope the distinction between list and arrays is clearer now, I know its confusing.

E.g. this is a list assignment without literal list: @a = %a ,

... the hash is unpacked into a list which is packed into an array.

or here you need a literal list to init an array(-ref) : $a_ref = [ 1,2,3 ]

Please feel free to ask. :)

Sure, thanks! I will ask if I have a problem.
