Hi list,
Hello,
Recently i've been learning a bit of C programming.
Congratulations.
I used data structures and then linked lists .. Does perl have this concept?
No. C is a low level language and uses pointers to create linked lists and Perl does not have pointers. You could simulate linked lists in Perl and the book _Mastering Algorithms with Perl_[1] describes how to do this.
Linked list helps in good memory management. Does perl automates memory management for us?
Yes.
Also, all the C variables are bound to be declared at the top, so that the program can allot memory for them.
This is not the case for the current C standard.
But this is not the case with perl where variables come and go with scope. What if not enough memory is available?
Then perl will die and tell you that. :-) [1] http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/maperl/ John -- Perl isn't a toolbox, but a small machine shop where you can special-order certain sorts of tools at low cost and in short order. -- Larry Wall -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
