Without getting formal about the proof:
1..9 = 45
1..99 = SumOfTensDigits + SumOfOnesDigits
= 10*1..9 + 10*1..9 = 900
1..999 = SumOfHundredsDigits + SumOfTensAndOnesDigits
= 100*1..9 + 10*1..99 = 4500 + 9000 = 13500
1..9999 = 1000*1..9 + 10*1..999 = 45000 + 135000 = 180000
...
1..'9'x$n
= 45, 450+450, 4500 + 4500+4500, 45000 + 3*45000, ...
= 4.5*$n*10^$n
1..1e6 = 1..'9'x6 + 1 = 4.5*6*10^6 + 1 = 27e6 + 1
= 27_000_001
so the code is actually only off by one because it uses < but they said "INCLUSIVE". (:

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
