Oh, cool, a Perl person. Wait, that was another thread :-).
So, Gus, what happens when you do:
for 1 .. @integer_array {
say "integer_array[$_] = @integer_array[$_]";
}
O'caml's Array.mapi function and the foreach construct of a lot
of other languages make screwups like this impossible.
Even Python has a better version (although not as nice as O'Caml)
of this:
integer_array = [ 1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, -7, 8, -9, 32727000]
for k in range (len (integer_array)):
print "integer [%d] = %d" % (k, integer_array [k])
