Concatenating Array elementsby lmtaylor (Novice) |

lmtaylor has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: If I am to concatenate two elements of an array, will the index numbers assigned to the array elements update? In other words, if I were to run this code: @array = (1..10); $array[7] = $array[7] . $array[8]; My array now has the following elements: 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 9 10 Is the index of 9 still $array[9]? Or has it been bumped up to $array[8] since the number that was in $array[8] has been concatenated with $array[7]? I've tried searching for this online, but couldn't find anything...maybe I'm using incorrect terminology? Thanks a lot! - Lisa
