Noob question here.
I'm sure the answer will be create objects, and store them in an array, but I want to see if there is an easier way.
In JSON notation I can create an array of objects like so:
[
{ width : 100, height : 50 },
{ width : 90, height : 30 },
{ width : 30, height : 10 }
]
Nice and simple. No arguing that.
I know Perl is not JS, but is there an easier way to duplicate an array of objects, then to create a new "class", new the objects, and push them in an array?
I guess what would make this possible is an object literal type notation that JS provides.
Or, is there another way to store two values, like above? I guess I could just have two arrays, each with scalar values, but that seems ugly...but much easier than creating a separate class, and all that crap. If I were writing Java or something, then no problem, but I don't want to be bothered with all that when I'm just writing a small script.
Here's a start. Each element of the @list
array is a reference to a hash with keys "width" and "height".
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @list = (
{ width => 100, height => 50 },
{ width => 90, height => 30 },
{ width => 30, height => 10 }
);
foreach my $elem (@list) {
print "width=$elem->{width}, height=$elem->{height}\n";
}
And then you can add more elements to the array:
push @list, { width => 40, height => 70 };
