Hi, I've started learning Perl a few days ago, but I'm a computer science student, so I'm not a complete idiot :)
This is the problem: I'm trying to make a simple 2D matrix that represents the product of the numbers 1-10 (don't know how to tell it in English, it's that table that kids learn when their 2nd grade) I've wrote the following: sub init { for ($a=0;$a<10;$a++) { $table[$a,0] = $a; $table[0,$a] = $a; } } sub count { for ($a=0;$a<10;$a++) { for ($b=0;$b<10;$b++) { $table[$a,$b] = $table[$a,0] * $table[0,$b]; } } } sub print { etc... } init; count; print; ----------- The count function might not have been written this way, but the init function sure looks like that, and that is the function I'm having a problem with. It doesn't work, but can't figure out why? It should give a result like this: 0123456789 1000000000 2000000000 3000000000 4000000000 5000000000 6000000000 7000000000 8000000000 9000000000 But instead I get 9999999999 9000000000 9000000000 9000000000 ... etc So I wrote a procedure like this: sub test { for ($a=0;$a<10;$a++) { print $a; $table[$a,0] = $a; } } .... and when I print the table, I get the following: 123456789 (from the print $a line) 999999999 99999999 99999999 99999999 .... etc... It's like it counts to 9, and then fills the table with nines. But why? Anyway, can someone help?
