Hi monks,
I usually use the 'or' operator and zero value while assigning values to scalar, when i assign scalar varaible to scalar variable. (For Eg. my $var = $var1 || 0). So, if $var1 is empty the 0 will be assign to $var variable. In this subroutine also i did the same. But, in this case if i print "$price" the output i am getting is 8. Anyone please guide me. I can return 0,0 from the subroutine. By mistake i did 'or' opearator and assign zero value. I just wanted to know how the values assigning.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($price, $floor) = &get_price_floor() || 0;
print $price;
sub get_price_floor {
return (10, 8);
}

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).
