G'day pldanutz,

I generally think it's better to pass around scalars than entire data structures, so returning a reference to that hash would be my preference.

If you wrapped $h{$k} in @{...}, you could dispense with if (! $h {$k}) { $h {$k} = [] } entirely.

Even if you're using 5.012 for other reasons elsewhere in your code, I see little, if any, value in using each here. It's easy to write it for any Perl5.

Putting all that together, you could code occurrences() like this instead:

sub occurences { my %h; my $i = 0; push @{$h{$_}}, $i++ for @_; return \%h; }

If you were looking for a golf answer, you could start with the following and then proceed to remove whitespace until illegibility was achieved. :-)

sub occurences { my ($i, %h) = 0; push @{$h{$_}}, $i++ for @_; \%h }

Here's my tests:

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
