Right, I was just pointing out that using 'for' doesn't answer the question of not using a 'foreach' loop. It looks kind of funny when the question stipulates that the person doesn't want to use something, and then you use it in your answer. Thats all. | [reply] |
I gave two ways to do it. There is no way to do it without some sort of loop happening somewhere. It is also why I said that that is the loopish way. Sorry if I gave too much information for your taste. I see your answer.. oh wait.. you didn't have an answer.
Cheers,
KM

Its unfortunate, KM, that you didn't really read the question, or my posts for that matter. You might have noticed that I was not putting you down or saying that your answer sucked. I was merely pointing out that you gave an answer that ignored the question, followed by one that didn't. As for why I hadn't posted my own answer? Thats because I liked your second answer. But you want one from me that doesn't use a loop? Ok. I'll use recursion then:
sub addArray{ shift(@_) + addArray(@_) if(@_) }
$total = addArray( 1, 3, 8, 15, 7, 5, 3 )
Update:
Two other things KM, I notice that you voted -- on my original comment. I'm not sure why. Nothing I said in that post was incorrect or rude. I also have noticed that my recursive answer is similar to the one that Btrott posted. I'm not sure why I should care, but I didn't want you to think I had copied it, as I had not read it when I first posted this. Cheers. | [reply]
