Topic

What is map() Function in Perl programming?



Explanation

The map() function applies a change to a list to get back a new list with the specified changes.

Syntax:
    map EXPR,LIST;
    map BLOCK,LIST;

In the above syntax, map() function takes a function or expression and a list as arguments.

Example:
    #! C:\programfiles\perl\bin\perl
    print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
    @color = ('Green','Orange','Blue','Pink','Peach','Black');
    @colmap = map(uc, @color);
    foreach $key (@colmap)
    {
      print "$key\n";
     }
Result:
    GREEN ORANGE BLUE PINK PEACH BLACK 

In the above example all the elements of the array "@color" is converted to uppercase and stored in another array using the map() function.All the elements of the array is printed using a loop.
