( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I started typing the whole thing but it's too long, so I'll just post the code relevant to my comment. I feel that sigils are unnecessary at all (and they are harmful to my wrists !)
## ## Sigil invariance ## array = [1, 3, 5, 12, 37, 42] # I use symbols here, but one can use strings: {'alpha' => 4, 'beta' = +> 6} # hash = {:alpha => 4, :beta => 6} third = array[2] # This would be hash['beta'] when using strings # beta = hash[:beta] # Ruby doesn't slice as a part of syntax - there are special member # methods for that. I personally see it as a good thing. odds = array.values_at(1, 3, 5) bets = hash.values_at(:alpha, :beta)

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.
