Hi everyone !
I'd like to apologize in advance for my bad english, it's not my
mother tongue...
My girlfriend (who is a newbie in Python, but knows Perl quite well)
asked me this morning why the following code snippets didn't give the
same result :
### Python ###
liste = [1,2,3]
def foo( my_list ):
my_list = []
foo(liste)
print liste# she expected liste to be an empty list
### Perl ###
@lst =(1,2,3);
$liste [EMAIL PROTECTED];
foo($liste);
print "@lst\n";
sub foo {
my($my_list)[EMAIL PROTECTED];
@{$my_list}=()
}
I have to admit that I don't know how to clearly explain to her the
differences between these results.
Could someone please help us understand these difference between
Python and Perl ?
Thanks in advance,
P4|1ndr0m
