in reply to get the Difference between two arrays
Hi gabrielsousa,
List::Compare and Set::Scalar will do this.
The method you want is get_symmetric_difference for List::Compare or symmetric_difference for Set::Scalar.
And the faq that KurtZ referenced.
C:\Old_Data\perlp>perldoc -q "intersection" Found in C:\Perl64\lib\pods\perlfaq4.pod How do I compute the difference of two arrays? How do I compute the + intersection of two arrays? Use a hash. Here's code to do both and more. It assumes that each element is unique in a given array: @union = @intersection = @difference = (); %count = (); foreach $element (@array1, @array2) { $count{$element}++ } foreach $element (keys %count) { push @union, $element; push @{ $count{$element} > 1 ? \@intersection : \@ +difference }, $element; } Note that this is the *symmetric difference*, that is, all element +s in either A or in B but not in both. Think of it as an xor operation. C:\Old_Data\perlp>
