Re^2: loopy trouble

For perl 6?

[stevieb]

Exactly the same (note that with perl6, you can omit the parens):

#!/usr/bin/perl6

for (1..3){
    print "$_\n";
}

...or, you can use say. (You can in perl5 as well, if you use feature 'say';):

for (1..3){
    say $_;
}

or a shortcut if you're only doing a small task (same as perl5):

print "$_\n" for 1..3;

say $_ for 1..3;

many thanks, very useful link you shared. Is there a place where i can get exercises from easy to very hard. I find that i learn better by solving problems.

[hippo]

Rosetta Code would be a good starting point (depending on your personal definition of "easy" and "hard", of course).

[Your Mother]

Agreed. I find that the best place most of the time to find learning/sample code is the test suites of Perl packages. Perl has an above average testing culture I think. This turned up a few interesting things and I’m sure there is plenty more in there–
