Hi,
Hello,
I don't not understand how the $#{$array_r} returns "highest" element as 4 and not 5???
Because array elements are indexed starting at 0 not 1 and $#array returns the element nuumber not its value. See example below:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my @array = (1,2,3,4,5); my $array_r = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; print "the highest element is number $#{$array_r}\n";
perl -mstrict -we 'print "The highest index number is $#INC\nThat value is \"$INC[ $#INC ]\"\n";'
