Re: Clever map / foreach algorithm sought

[{NULE}]

Hi bmcatt,

Ahhh - another friday afternoon and fine day it is for some golf.

Fore!

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @x = ( 4, 4, 2 );
my @y;
my $i = -1;

#56 chars with whitespace removed.
@y = map {sprintf("XX%02d:%d",!$_?++$i:$i,$_)} map {0..$_} @x;

foreach (@y)
{
    print ">$_\n";
}

I'm afraid I can't offer useful advice on your algorithm at this time. I think I see what you are trying to accomplish and this approach seems reasonable enough to me.

Good luck,
{NULE}

P.S. I know this wasn't a golfing question, but I'm just in that kind of mood. I've never tried golfing before so be easy on me. :)
