| For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk. Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active! I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
map, grep and $_ save loops
Topicalization and Special Variables example from a Well House Consultants training course
More on Topicalization and Special Variables [link]
=head1 Map and Grep save loops
Perl's map and grep functions allow
you to process every member of a list.
With grep, you're performing a test on
each list member and producting a new
list which contains only those members
for which the test is true. Although
the usual use of grep is with a regular
expression, in fact it can handle any
logical test ... each of the items of
the incoming list is placed, in turn,
in $_ and the test performed.
Map also places each element in turn in
$_, but rather than returning a shorted
list of elements which are identical to
elements in the original list, it returns
a list of all elements, but transformed
through the mapping given.
In this example, we use "grep" to see
which companies on our industrial estate
have an exact multiple of 11 members of
staff (perhaps we're making up cricket
teams), and we use "map" to get a count
of the number of teams for every company.
=cut
@staff = (4000, 2500, 44, 121, 144, 161);
@teams = grep (($_ % 11 == 0), @staff);
print "exacts ... @teams\n";
@ntms = map(int($_/11),@staff);
print "number of teams ... @ntms\n";
__END__
Sample output:
Dorothy:ppcsrd08 grahamellis$ perl exact
exacts ... 44 121
number of teams ... 363 227 4 11 13 14
