Re: Tip: hash indexing

The suggested solution to this thread seems odd to me. It confuses a storage structure with information about the elements, and doesn't use the power of perl6. An associative array is useful because non-integer indexes are possible and hashing makes storage efficient. This makes referencing da

Re: Tip: hash indexing

Sweet!I added a reverse print to the pile! #!/usr/bin/env perl6 #`{ Hashes do not print in the order they are created. it is a Perl 6 thing. To overcome this, create an index of the hash. } my @SmtpIndex = qw[ DebugTrace smtp port username password from to Subject Text FileName ];

Re: Tip: hash indexing

I'd like to note that Hash tables don't preserve the order they're created, and that this isn't a perl6 thing, this is intrinsic to the definition of hash tables. On October 3, 2017 9:06:47 AM EDT, Andrew Kirkpatrick wrote: >Thanks, your script enticed me to explore different ways of >construc

Re: Tip: hash indexing

Thanks, your script enticed me to explore different ways of constructing a hash table. I dimly recall something about map having access to an index variable, but couldn't find it documented so maybe I was dreaming. The process of figuring out these approaches highlighted that so much perl6 document
