Perl Refernces

Kinds of references: hard: a scalar variable that points to data symbolic: a variable that names another reference typeglob: a kind of symbolic reference $language = “english”; # a hard reference $english = “Brooklyn”; # another hard reference print “you speak with a ${$language} accent\n”; eval “ \$$language = ‘British’;”; # another symbolic ref Print “Now you speak with a $english accent\n”;

Symbolic references are tricky: You can disallow symbolic references using the pragma use strict “refs”;

Life revolves around hard references: A hard reference is a pointer; an address. You can point to –a scalar –a list or array –an associative array or hash –a subroutine Purpose is to allow you to create things like –array of arrays (n-dimensional arrays) –array of hashes –hash of hashes (a file hierarchy where directory == hash)

The \ Operator: Similar to & in C++. $p is a hard reference to the “a scalar” string; Like & in C++, you de-reference a field by using . $x = “a scalar”; $p = \$x; # a pointer to $x

Examples: $scalarref = \$foo; $arrayref = $hashref = \%ENV; $coderef = \&handler; $globref = \*STDOUT; $reftoref = \$scalarref;

De-referencing a pointer: The de-reference operator is the character that precedes the variable name and indicates the data type of the variable. $num = 5; $p = \$num; Printf ‘The address assigned to $p is ‘. $p. “\n”; Printf “The value stored there is $$p\n”; #output The address assigned to $p is SCALAR(0xb075c) The value stored there is 5

De-referencing another = qw/slinky yo-yo jack-in-the-box/; $num $ref1 = \$num; $ref2 = printf “There are $$ref1 toys\n”; printf “They printf “My favourite toy is $ref2->[0]\n”; # could also write this as $$ref2[0]

Anonymous variables: Variables with no names are called anonymous. Anonymous arrays are created with [ = (3, 4,5); $arrayref = [ 3, 4, = ( [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]); printf # prints a list of 3 addresses printf “matrix[0,0] = $matrix[0][0]\n’; # prints matrix[0][0] = 1 # can also be written $matrix[0]  [0] # print out the matrix using a loop for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) { printf }

Purpose of  The  operator, called the arrow or infix operator, is used to de-reference an anonymous array or hash. $matrix[0] is a reference to an array  de-references to get first the actual array and then [0] gets the first element in it. $matrix[0]  [0]

Anonymous hashes: Anonymous hashes are created with { } $hashref = { Name => ”Woody”, Type => “Cowboy”}; printf $hashref  {Name}. “\n”; printf keys(%$hashref). “\n”; printf values(%$hashref). “\n”; #output Woody NameType WoodyCowboy
