Dear Monks, I have a newbie array question. I have two arrays, one contains lots of sequences which may appear more than once, the second contains an array of numbers which relate to the sequences. Both arrays are the same size and $sequence[[0]] relates to $numbers[[0]] etc.

What i want to do is for each copy of a certain sequence in @sequences, get the average of the corresponding values in @numbers.

Hope you can help me out!

#e.g.

@sequence = ('acgt','actg','cggt','cggt');
@numbers = ('1234','2345','3244','3455');

# output
# sequence: actg = 1789.5
# sequence: cggt = 3349.5

• 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).
