trying to learn smart matching in an exercise.
Why does this program output "odd" when I input an even number?
Thank you,
Chris
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use 5.010;
say "Checking the number <$ARGV[0]>";
my $favorite = 62;
given( $ARGV[0] ) {
when( ! /^\d+$/ ) { say "Not a number!" }
my @divisors = divisors( $ARGV[0] );
when( @divisors ~~ 2 ) { # 2 is in @divisors
say "$_ is even";
continue;
}
when( !( @divisors ~~ 2 ) ) { # 2 isn't in @divisors
say "$_ is odd!";
continue;
}
when( @divisors ~~ $favorite ) {
say "$_ is divisible by my favorite number";
continue;
}
when( $favorite ) { # $_ ~~ $favorite
say "$_ is my favorite number";
continue;
}
my @empty;
when( @divisors ~~ @empty ) { say "Number is prime" }
default { say "$_ is divisible by @divisors" }
}
sub divisors {
my $number = shift;
my @divisors = ();
foreach my $divisor ( 2 .. ($ARGV[0]/2 + 1) ) {
push @divisors, $divisor unless $number % $divisor;
}
return @divisors;
