i don't understand your point. i would not say my approach was able to directly detect any number of duplicates, whether 2, 3 or more. (the only, and somewhat awkward, way to detect the presence of duplicates with this specific caching approach would be to build two caches, one based on ascending indices, the other based on descending indices, and compare the two indices derived from the two caches. if they are not the same, two or more duplicates must exist. however, i can think of better ways to handle this sort of info.)

the point i was trying, perhaps clumsily, to make in my original post was that my method, in common with all the other approaches that had appeared by then, would, due to the use of reverse, return the first (i.e., lowest) index of a match in the case of duplicates, but that a variation could easily be had that would return the last/highest index.

since my original post, i see that some solutions have been posted that return the indices of all matches, which i did not understand to be a requirement of the original question. oh, well...

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.
