non-strict hack :)
use Data::Dump qw/pp/; @array = (10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 7); @a = sort {$a <=> $b} @array; $first = $last = shift @a; # init start push @a,"inf"; # infinity end for $now (@a) { unless ( $last+1 == $now ) { push @ranges,[$first,$last]; # todo: one element ranges $first=$now; } $last=$now; } pp @ranges;

not sure how you wanna handle one element ranges, so I kept it up to you:

([2, 4], [7, 7], [10, 12])

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
