right
@a = (pop(@a), @a);
left
@a = (@a[1..$#a], $a[0]);
there's nothing preventing you from moving those to subroutines, eg.
like this:
sub shiftR (\@) {
my ($a) = @_;
@$a = (pop(@$a), @$a);
return;
}
sub shiftL (\@) {
my ($a) = @_;
@$a = (@{$a}[1..$#$a], $a->[0]);
return;
}
@a = (1,2,3,4);
print join(',', @a), "\n";
shiftR @a;
print join(',', @a), "\n";
shiftL @a;
print join(',', @a), "\n";
> - factorial
Looks like it's for example in Math::NumberCruncher
