Hello, monks!
I've written a simple function that should return the index of the maximum value in an array. However, it will always return $imax=0. No matter how hard I look, I can't tell where my logic is flawed. I suspect the fix is embarrassingly straightforward; thank you so much for your help!
use strict;
use warnings;
sub get_max_index { #revisit how to define functions/"my" var ? (defa
+ult parameters?)
my $imax=0;
for (my $i=0; $i<@_; $i++)
{ my $imax=$i if ($_[$imax]<=$_[$i]);}
return $imax;
}
my @arr = (1..10);
my $ans = get_max_index(@arr);
print"$ans\n";

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).
